Main Body

Many young people use social media to learn about tanning. They want dark skin quickly. They do not know that the sun is dangerous. In Canada, the weather is getting hotter. This means people stay outside in the sun for a long time.

許多年輕人利用社群媒體學習如何曬黑。他們希望皮膚能快速變黑,卻不知道陽光其實很危險。在加拿大,天氣變得越來越炎熱,這意味著人們會在陽光下停留很長時間。

Doctors say this is bad for the skin. Too much sun makes skin look old. It also causes skin cancer. In Canada, many people will get this cancer by 2026. Children are at high risk too.

醫生表示這對皮膚有害。過度日曬會讓皮膚看起來老化,還會導致皮膚癌。在加拿大,預計到 2026 年將有許多人患上這種癌症,兒童的風險也很高。

In the UK, people use tanning beds in shops. These shops often tell lies about health. The laws do not stop young people from using them. Now, doctors want to ban these shops. Australia and Brazil already have this ban.

在英國,人們會在商店中使用曬黑床。這些商店經常在健康問題上撒謊。目前的法律無法阻止年輕人使用。現在醫生希望禁止這些商店,澳洲和巴西已經實施了禁令。

Conclusion

Social media and bad laws make sun exposure a big problem. We need better laws and better health information.

社群媒體與不完善的法律使日曬成為一個大問題。我們需要更好的法律以及更正確的健康資訊。
