Visit to Florida

My favorite place to visit is Florida. There are a lot of fun things to do there. This March, I went to Florida to visit my relatives.

I have two sides of family. My mom’ s side lives in Minnesota. For my dad’s side, it’s a little different. They all started in New York, and then they all moved to Florida except my uncle. He teaches English at a high school in New York. My family lives in Minnesota with my mom’s side. So we often take vacations to Florida.

There are some “must-do’ s” in Florida. Going to the beach is one of them. Everyone loves the beach, because we can go fishing and swimming there. There are many big theme parks and these are my favorites. Another thing to do is going to the Port St. Lucie County Fair. I went to a rodeo (竞技表演)for the first time. It was great.

One of my favorite hobbies is fishing. One morning my dad and I went fishing with my grandpa, and my twin cousins. I caught an octopus (章鱼)! It was really exciting. I think everybody should try deep-sea fishing. It is wonderful.

I hope you can take a vacation to Florida one day.

Children know that summer is probably the most fun of all seasons. However, experts say it is also the most dangerous, especially for children aged 14 and under. In its first study of children’s safety in the US, the National Safe Kids Campaign (NSKC) found that nearly half of the injury-related(与受伤相关的) deaths among children happened in summer.

Experts are not surprised by the study’s results. They always know summer is a dangerous season for children. During the summer, children are out of school and spend more time outdoors. They are more likely to get into an accident or be injured. “While we encourage children to be active and spend more time outdoors, they need to understand the importance of safety,” said Everett Koop, an expert of the NSKC.

To help children stay safe, the NSKC started a “Make it a Safe Kids Summer” Campaign during National Safe Kids Week, from May 5th to May 12th. Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC:

●Always wear your seat belt.

●Make sure there is an adult around when you decide to go swimming.

●Wear a life jacket(救生衣) when on a boat or doing water sports.

●Obey all traffic rules.

●Don’t meet e-pals alone.
