Something is distant if it is a long way away from you. Something can be distant in terms of physical distance or time, for example "her childhood was a distant memory".
Diving is a sport where you jump into the water, usually from a small platform. Some people dive in so they can start swimming faster. Sometimes people have the diving board set up really high so between jumping off and landing in the water they have time to do lots of acrobatic twists and turns.
Usually when you dive into the water, you want to make as small a splash as possible.
Doberman dogs, also called dobermann Pinschers, are a large, slim dog originally from Germany. They were used most often as guard dogs or police dogs, but are now most common as pets. They are an extremely loyal, protective, intelligent dog. They have developed a reputation for aggression, this has been selectively bred out in recent years but the reputation remains and is still popularised on TV and in movies.
A doctor is someone who makes sick or injured people better. Their main role is to find out what is wrong with someone and prescribe treatment, while a nurse's role is mainly to look after sick or injured people as they get better. Some doctors perform surgery, cutting people open to fix what is wrong inside, to help people get better.
The dodo was a large, flightless bird with a heavy body, a short beak, and grayish-brown feathers. It lived on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Dodos walked on the ground, ate fruits and other plants, and foraged for food in forests.
They are now extinct.
