Summer is one of the best times for you and your dog to spend some good time outdoors. It's also the season that can be dangerous to dogs. In order to keep your pets safe, you will need to learn about the possible dangers.

Not all dogs can swim. In a perfect world, you hope that your dog will jump in the water and naturally know what to do. While some dogs(especially dogs like Labradors and Golden Retrievers) may naturally know how to swim，many others do not. There are many dogs who fear the water and refuse to learn to swim. You should never force a dog into the water.

Watch what your dog drinks. Most dogs will gladly drink the water in which they are swimming. This can bring a serious problem depending on the kind of water. Pool chemicalsare very dangerous and not healthy. Lake and river water may seeminnocuous, but may have parasites. It is more possible to find parasites in standing water than in running water.

Dogs can get sunburned, too. Dogs with lighter hair, short hair or pink noses are in greater danger. But even long-haired dogs can get sunburned noses. Water reflects light, so it is more possible to get sunburned around water. Make sure that your dog is not always in the sun while swimming.

Kato Lomb was born at an exciting time. It was 1909 in Budapest, and the world that she grew up in was going to see great changes.

After getting her degree in physics, she looked for the job everywhere, but failed. She saw little hope of getting a job in the scientific fields. So she decided to teach English. She just had to learn it first. In her language learning Kato started reading cheap but exciting novels, carrying a dictionary with her all the time.

Her way of language learning made sense --if the story is exciting enough, it can keep you going past what you don't understand. In the end, you can-pick up what you need from the context. The reading took her further than she could have imagined. After the end of the Second World War, she began a long and successful career of interpretation and translation. In fact she was one of the first professional simultaneous interpreters in the world. Simultaneous interpretation is a job much more difficult than translation as all the work happens in real time. Not stopping at English, she learned French, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese and quite a few other languages that she used to work as a translator.

Kato believed that interest was the most important part of language leaning. Grammar could always come later if you were excited about learning and understanding new words in the language. No matter what language she was learning she always believed she could complete the task and could keep studying her whole life.

Stella knows that at the end of the year, her whole dance class will get to perform at an arts festival. Molly is really excited about the festival. Molly tells Stella, "It's going to be great. Just think, a real stage! Everyone will be watching us. " When Stella hears those words，she feels worried. "Everyone will be watching us?" she thinks. That means there will be so many people to see her make mistakes. Stella starts to feel like she does not even want to go to dance class.

Stella tells her mom about her worries. "I just don't want to make mistakes in front of other people. I'm the worst dancer in my class!" she tells her mom. Stella even starts to cry.

Stella's mom kisses her, saying, "Stella, you have been practicing all year. You love to dance and you look so happy when you are dancing. Believe in yourself! Tell yourself you will succeed and you know that you will. "

The next week at dance class, Stella feels a little braver. She practices all week and her teacher praises her for her great progress. After class, Molly says, "Wow, Stella, you look great today!" That makes Stella feel glad.

That night at dinner. Stella tells her parents and her brother that dance class is better today. She asks them whether they will be coming to the arts festival. All the family say, "For sure."
