These years, more than ten people died while they were enjoying themselves in the water, 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 water. Summer is here again. If you go swimming in summer, don’t forget that some better swimmers have dead in water.
