There are five major oceans that make up much of our planet. They are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic oceans. Water covers about 70% of the earth's surface. The earth's oceans are all joined to each other.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world. It covers 165,250,000 km2. It also has the deepest waters. The Mariana Trench is 11,034 metres deep and 2,550 km long. The Pacific Ocean has very bad weather. Many powerful storms form out in the open ocean every year. There is also a lot of volcanic activity in this ocean. In the Pacific, there are many small volcanic islands such as Hawaii, Tonga and Samoa.

The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean in the world. It covers an area of over 82,000,000 km2. Under the Atlantic Ocean lies a mountain range called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

The Indian Ocean is smaller than the Atlantic. It covers about 73,000,000 km2. It usually has gentle breezes. However, from the months of April to October monsoons form over the ocean. They carry a lot of rain into India that causes terrible floods.

The Southern Ocean is the fourth largest ocean. It covers an area of more than 20,000,000 km2. It is a very cold ocean because it is near the Antarctic and much of it is covered in ice.

The Arctic Ocean is the smallest of all five oceans. It covers about 14,000,000 km2. It isn’t as deep as the other oceans. It is one of the coldest oceans. Ice covers the central part of the ocean all year round.

the book "the adventures of Tom Sawyer" is popular with millions of readers. Book full of adventures of Tom and his friends. Tom Sawyer is a boy who lives with his younger brother sid and Polly in St. Petersburg, a city on the Mississippi river.
• That day Tom Sawyer feel gloomy. They called him lonely. No one cared about him. He believed that no one loved him. Tom was crying. He looked back at the house, their school, and again cried. He thought about how unfriendly, how cold the world was. Just at that moment he was faced with Joe Harper his old friend. Joe's eyes were red. He looked miserable, his mother punished him to drink the cream
The guys talked about their common problems and decided to flee the city. Near the town on the great Mississippi river was a raft. They could travel on water for long island is called the island of Jackson. No one could find the boys.
An hour later, Huck Finn, a tramp, also joined them. Plan for the guys to warm the food out of the house to meet at midnight near a raft to escape from the city to live a happy life on the island as pirates.The night was dark and still. A great river like the ocean. At midnight, Tom was in a secret place with a piece of ham. A minute later the three friends found each other in the dark and was on a raft. At two o'clock the young pirates came to the island and maiden voyage ended.

Tired but happy, they lit a fire and fried some bacon. 
How romantic it was: water, stars, bacon, freedom, friends...
"Not great?", Joe said.
"This is wonderful!" Tom said. "What are you guys talking about?"
"They'll just die here!"
"For me it's just life," said Tom. "You don't get up early, do not wash, do not go to school. You just relax and enjoy".
Suddenly said Huck, " what do pirates do?"

Tom replied, "Oh, they just have the time to take the bully ships, to get money and hide them in a terrible place."
"What dreadful place?"
"Somewhere on the island. Where there are a lot of ghosts."
Gradually their conversation died, the boys fell asleep. That night they dreamed of adventure, travel, first impressions of a new life.
