Summer comes and the weather gets hotter and hotter. In China, we have a special name for the hottest days—dog days. They usually come in July and August.

The hot weather is not good for our health. Too much heat may make us feel tired or sick. Kids and old people need to be more careful in hot summer days.

Doctors tell us some good ways to keep healthy. We should drink enough water every day. It is better to stay indoors when the sun is too strong. We also need to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables to stay cool and fit.
