描述一项你想尝试的海上或者海边的休闲活动,需要说明活动的具体内容,准备工作,以及做准备工作的目的,然后说一些感想之类的。
I like to try sunbathing near the sea! You know, all or most Chinese girls like to have white skin, just take the Snow White as the example; they all would like to have flawless, silky and niveous skin! However, the permanent tan is also unique and beautiful, right? I’ve searched for much information about the sunbathing. I find out that there’s much to prepare before sunbathing. First of all, you have to choose a clean, flat and dry place for your sunbathing, green zone is a better choice since you have to avoid over exposure to radiation or poisoning. Secondly, you need to fully use sunscreen lotion to avoid sunburns. Here’s a key point: you need to make sure your each inch of skin has a uniform absorption to the sunscreen lotion. You won’t want to be sunbathed like a spotted dog, right? Certainly, for vulnerable parts of your body, you could use more. The third one, you should have a clear sequence of your sunbathing, first stomach, then your back… something like that.
I like to try sunbathing because I think there’s no fixed standard of what beauty is. For the skin color, bronzed skin is also very healthy and attractive. Moreover, it’s a great way to cure some illness but tan is just a by-product. I feel that we should exploit the natural resources as much as possible to enjoy the gifts from nature—to make things easy. There may be best solutions to some mysteries that have puzzled people over several centuries. For example, some illness could be efficiently cured by sunbathing here. By the way, don’t forget to be friendly to the environment.
