Discuss the questions in pairs and make some guesses. Share them with your classmates.

1. Why was the Black Sea given its name?
2. Why was the Pacific Ocean given its name and what does “pacific” mean?

1. The Black Sea was given its name because in ancient times people often called seas by their colour, and this sea looked dark and gloomy.

2. The Pacific Ocean was given its name by Ferdinand Magellan. The word pacific means “peaceful” or “calm”, because the ocean seemed quiet and smooth.
