Why should we learn to swim?

Firstly, swimming is a good exercise for our health. Indeed doctors say it is the best exercise, because in swimming all the muscles of the body are used.

Secondly, swimming gives great pleasure. How nice it is, on a hot dusty day in summer, to take off one’s clothes and dive into the cool water of a rive or the sea, and to swim and float until one feels enough.

Thirdly, swimming may sometimes mean all the different between life and death, we never know when we may be in danger from water. We got on a voyage, and the ship in wrecked; we go for a pleasure sail on a lake and the boat turns over; we slip as we are walking along the bank of a river, and half in the water. If we can swim, we have chance for saving our own lives, but if we cannot swim, we are pretty certain to be drowned. So for our own safety, we should learn to swim.

Lastly, if we can swim, we may be able to save other people from drowning. How sad it is to see a friend drowning before our eyes while we cannot help just because we cannot swim.

16. Who says that swimming is the best exercise?  _________.

A. Farmers B. Dentists C. Fishermen D. Doctors

Summer is here. One of the best ways to cool off on a hot summer day is to jump into a swimming pool. Swimming is great exercise, and a trip to a pool or beach is a good way to have fun with friends. But swimming can also be dangerous, so it’s important to stay safe as you do it. Here are a few things you can do to swim safely.

 Swim only in areas set for swimming.

Don’t swim unless there is a lifeguard(救生员) on duty. If you’re on a beach near the ocean, this is especially important. In some places, fast currents(急流) can sweep swimmers away without warning. So if a sign says “No swimming”, please take care.

Be careful when diving(跳水) into the water headfirst.

Most pools have deep ends where diving is safe. In natural water, don’t dive unless you know that the water is deep enough. Or you could hit your head on the bottom.

Make sure you have a partner with you.

Nobody knows what will happen while you are swimming. lf something goes wrong, you can get help from that person as soon as possible. In this situation, a few seconds can make a big difference.

Pay close attention to children’s safety.

Kids who don’t know how to swim should wear life jackets. But by themselves they are not enough, so an adult should always be present. If you have a pool at home, put a fence(围栏) around it in case children fall in. And if a child disappears, check the pool first.
