A serious disease called Flu was easy for people to catch in winter. We have to do something to keep healthy. One day, I got up early and took my temperature. It was OK. I began to take some exercise. It’s good for our health. Then I opened the door and the windows , cleaned the house. I thought it was important to keep clean. And washing hands often could help too. I drank lots of water, ate more vegetables and fruit. I felt very well. I hope everyone is healthy.
