Does the Dead Sea sound like a place you'd like to go swimming？What do you expect to see in it？Do you believe there are dead things in the Dead Sea？
Lying in southwest Asia，the Dead Sea stretches（綿延）for about 80 kilometres .At its widest point，the Dead Sea is about 18 kilometres wide.At its deepest point，it is about 400 metres deep.And if you happen to be in the area，you might hear people call it by another name，such as the Salt Sea，the East Sea，or the Sea of the Plain.
Even though it's called the Dead Sea，it isn't a sea at all! It's a lake，Different from other lakes you might have seen，the Dead Sea is a very salty lake.In fact，the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world.The Dead Sea is so salty that nothing can live in it.That's why it's called the Dead Sea.And the Dead Sea stays very salty because it gets only a little rain，and very little fresh water gets into the Dead Sea each year.
Don't be afraid of the name of the Dead Sea，though.The Dead Sea is an amazing（令人驚嘆的）place to visit，and many people go to the Dead Sea each year on holiday.Because of its high salinity（鹽度），the Dead Sea's waters are denser（密度大的） than ocean water or the water you'd find in a swimming pool.That means that anyone can float（漂浮） in the Dead Sea.So if you walk on the beach of the Dead Sea on a warm day，perhaps you can see many people floating in its waters.You might even see many of them reading books or magazines!
