The sun
ew spring is coming soon. We feel the warmth of the sun after a cold winter.
The sun affects life work and nature. Beside human beings have depended he blessings of the sun for a
long time. We use the sun to grow crops and saw the time with a sundial. The sunlight has been used for solar
power generation recently. The sun is utilized for various purposes.
However, the sun doesn’t give us only merits. If we watch the sun directly, sunlight damages our eyes.
Also, if we expose our skin under the sun for a long time, we get sunburned. The serious sunburn can cause
skin cancer. In this way, human beings suffer from negative features of the sun.
Human beings invented sunscreen and sunglasses to reduce the problem.
In the future, we should find more effective ways to protect our skin from the sun and to use the sunshine.
