Swimming is very popular in summer. People like swimming in summer because water makes people feel cool. If you like swimming and swim in a wrong place, it may not be safe. These years, more than ten people died when they were swimming in rivers, and most of them were students. But some people are still not careful in swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing can happen to them in rivers. It’s summer now. If you go swimming, don’t forget that some good swimmers have died in rivers.

   They died because they were not careful, not because they can’t swim well. So don’t get into rivers when you are alone, especially when there is a “No swimming” sign.
