 Are
you enjoying your summer vacation? I hope everyone
is having a lot of fun this summer!
But summer can be a dangerous season for children.
When you enjoy the hot weather, you always have to be careful. You have to take
good care of yourself all the time. This week,
I'd like to introduce you some useful tips for safe and fun summer vacation.
The most important thing to remember is to listen to
your body all the time! And of course, always listen
to your parents!
Keep Your Feet Dry!
Playing in the sun is always fun. But when walking around in the sun,
your feet sweat a lot. When your feet
are wet, you can develop blisters. It can hurt a lot!
So how can you avoid developing blisters?
Wearing socks can help keep your feet dry. So don't forget to wear socks that are 100 percent
cotton. When your feet sweat
too much, take a break in the shade. Find a cool place
and sit down. Take off your shoes and socks
and let your feet dry. Dry feet are happy feet!
 Wear
Light Cotton Clothes!
Wearing light cotton clothing can make you feel
much cooler than other fabrics. Wearing tight clothes is not a good
idea. Loose fitting clothes allow air to circulate, and keep you cooler.
Also, wide-brimmed hats can protect you from the strong
sun. Hats keep the sun out of your eyes, and make some cooling shade,
too.
Protect Yourself from the Sun!
Before you go out, don't forget to put on sunscreen. Use sunscreen
of SPF 15 or higher. If you
don't use it, you can get painful sunburn! Ouch! Even on a
cloudy day, you can get sunburn. So put on sunscreen every morning
before you start out. Don't forget to put sunscreen on your lips,
ears, back of neck, too!
Drink Water!
Your body is about 70 percent water. And it cannot work properly without enough water.
So you should drink lots of water every day, especially in summer. This
is because your body loses lots of water by sweating on hot summer
days. So it's important to drink enough water every day. Don't wait
until you feel thirsty. Eating fruits and
vegetables that have lots
of water inside is also a good idea. For example, watermelon can give you some
water you need. But drinking water is the best idea for your thirsty
body. So don't forget to drink about 8 glasses of water every day! |
