Question

【题目】 On weekends, Olga Belka always does the same thing. It is under water where she creates her paintings.

Olga Belka is a famous Russian artist who is very popular. Now she lives in Thailand. She is good at diving（潜水）. She likes drawing, too. She always draws sea animals while she is under water. She often needs two to six dives to finish a picture. It takes her about two hours to dive every time. The drawing materials she uses are specially made, and they do not pollute the sea. Each of her unusual pictures is an artwork.

Olga started underwater painting because she wanted to catch the beauty of life under the waves. She has created some truly unique pictures. They are very different and unusual. Olga ever said that sea is a source of inspiration（灵感）. So she wants to share the underwater beauty with the world by drawing pictures. The time she spends under the sea is the best time. She enjoys herself under the sea.

But if you want to buy one of her pictures, you will pay as much as $ 3,000. It is very expensive. If you want to make your weekends meaningful, you can accompany Olga to draw pictures under the sea. It would cost you $ 100 to spend a day painting with Olga underwater. Earlier this year, Olga held an exhibition of her works of art, where she showed her magical creations.
