Swimming is very popular in the world. Most people like swimming in summer, even in the other three seasons. Water makes people feel cool and swimming makes people keep healthy.
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. Now some people are not careful enough in swimming. They often think they can swim so well that nothing will happen to them in water. 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 (粗心).

We each have a memory（记忆）. That's why we can remember things after a long time. Some people have a very good memory and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again.
A good memory helps one learn a language well. Everybody learns his own language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages easily because they hear, remember and speak the two languages every day. In school it is not easy to learn a foreign language because the students have little time for it and they have to learn other subjects, too.
Our memory can get better and better if we do more and more exercises. Do you want to learn a foreign language well? If so, you must do a lot of listening and speaking.
Why can we remember things after a long time?
Why can some people easily learn many things by heart?
Which conditions（条件） can make a child learn two languages easily?
Is it easy for the students to learn a foreign language well? Why?
What must you do if you want to learn a foreign language well?

He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, “ Give her these. The pills should make her better.”
