Food is not the only way our bodies can get Vitamin D. The sun also gives us Vitamin D. If we want to be healthy, we should spend some time in the sun each day. Too much sun is not good for you, but about 15 minutes a day is usually enough. And we should be sure to eat foods that are rich in Vitamin D, too.

Everything became different when I was 16 years old, because my parents decided to move to Florida. Who can quickly adapt to (适应)a completely strange environment?

Then, all the students came to study and even tried to help each other. I realized that they were hard-working and friendly just like me. I began to make friends with them. Several years later, we still keep in touch with each other and they have become a great treasure to me.
