What’s the best thing to eat on a hot summer day? Quite a few people will say it is ice cream. Yes, eating ice cream with some fruit is a good way to cool down. But think before you eat. If your body is hot from playing sports, it's not the best time to eat ice cream. If you eat ice cream when your body is hot,it may give your stomach some problems, and you may get diarrhoea(腹泻). You can eat some ice cream after you cool down. Just try not to eat too much at a time!

People shouldn’t eat or drink anything cold just after dinner. If you want to stay cool and healthy,oranges,bananas and pears can help.

In summer,germs(细菌)grow very fast and food goes bad easily. You should eat clean and fresh food.When you want to eat a cold dish,put in some vinegar(醋)to disinfect(杀菌)it.If you can’t finish your food and want to eat it again the next day, you should heat it enough to kill the germs in it before you eat it.

How are you doing these days? My school life has changed a lot this term. My life has changed a lot, too.

Now I have more free time. I often do some sports. I help my mother do housework at home. I also learn how to cook. I also read Journey to the West, which is one of the most popular Chinese classics in my spare time. Hard to imagine, I was taking a cram school at this time last year. But this year I’m studying painting, because I am interested in painting. I think the double reduction policy is really good. This not only makes life easier for parents, but also gives students time to develop their own hobbies.

Are you enjoying your school life? I hope everything goes well.
