游泳（双语版）

Swimming Dogs, use dog paddle to swim. Cats, use dog paddle to swim. Everybody uses dog paddle to swim. Why does everyone know how to swim? It’s because majority of animal bodies are made so they can float on the water. Do people&`&s bodies float on water too? You can go inside your bath tub and try it. Your body floats better on hot water, relax, your hands and feet will float. Animal’s & people’s bodies,are like a balloon :an inflated balloon, floats on water. We breath air into our lungs which is like a swim ring, so we float on water. Come! Let’s go to the swimming pool to practice! Let’s first take a shower, wet face is okay. After you get into the pool, walk slowly. Then run a little, jump a bit. Then take a deep breath, splash into the water, see if you can float. “Ah! My face is all wet.” It’s okay, it doesn’t matter. Getting your face wet, is the first step of learning to swim. Be brave and put your face into the water. Let’s have a water fight! Splash splash splash…...the water spilt everywhere. You are not scared of getting your face wet anymore, so now you are going to practice. Spit out the water in your mouth, spit it out while you lift your head. Gu-lu gu-lu poo gu-ul gu-lu poo. Now we can dive into the water. In the water can you open your eyes? Try it. If you curl up and hold your knees tight, you will float. But in this position you cannot swim! If you want to swim,you must lay flat, like a cat or dog. Try it, let someone hold your arms, practice laying flat. Now, you don’t need anyone to help, you can do it yourself. You’re floating! You’re floating! Splash! Splash! Your two legs kick the water, now you can swim forward. You now know how to swim! Splash Splash Splash…...
