41. Getting a Tan p.271

 

　　Both my brother and I are outgoing people. He as well as I likes being in the sun. It goes withoutsaying, therefore, that we spend a lot of our free time at the beach. We go there to relax as well as tokeep fit. To be frank, though, he no less than I enjoys looking at the beautiful "scenery" around the beach.
However, if you are anything like us, we have a piece of advice for you. Don't forget to rub a goodamount of sunscreen lotion¹ all over your body. Not only does it protect you from getting skin cancer, but italso helps to keep you nicely tanned. Both my brother and I forgot to do that and now we look likeAfro-Americans rather than Chinese.
