My uncle Arthur has a very unusual occupation. He is an underwater archaeologist. Last summer, he travelled to the Mediterranean Sea to explore an ancient shipwreck. He worked with a huge team of divers and historians. They spent five weeks on a large boat and dove into the deep sea every morning.
They discovered magnificent golden coins, old pots, and even perfectly preserved statues under the water. Uncle Arthur said it was the most tiring but exciting experience of his life. After they carefully collected the historical artifacts, they brought them to a famous museum in London. Next year, he is planning to investigate a sunken city in the Pacific Ocean.

The students voted democratically, and Olivia achieved a landslide victory.
