Question

Swimming is very popular in the world. People like swimming in summer, even in the other three seasons. Because water makes people feel cool and swimming makes people keep fit^①.

If you swim in a wrong place, it may not be safe. A lot of people died when they were enjoying themselves in the water, and most of them were students. Last summer, a few students from one school went to swim in the river near their school. As a result^②, three of them never came out of the river.

Now some people are not careful enough in swimming. They often think they can swim so well that^③nothing will happen to them in water.

Summer is here again. If you go swimming in summer, don’t forget that a lot of good swimmers have died in water. They died not because they couldn’t swim, but because of their carelessness^④. Don’t get into water when you are alone. If there is a“No Swimming”sign^⑤, don’t get into water. If you remember these, swimming will be safe and enjoyable^⑥.
