What is quicksand? Can it really pull things down? No. It cannot. Quicksand cannot pull things into it. Quicksand is really loose(松散的)sand and a lot of water. The water makes the quicksand.

Falling into quicksand does not hurt. It is almost like falling into water! Your body will go down. But then it will come up. People can float(漂浮)in quicksand. But they must not fight the sand. That would make them go down. They should move slowty until they float.

Quicksand is found in many places. It is found near the mouths of large rivers. The mouth of a river is where the river meets the ocean or the sea. Quicksand is also found on land. In some places the water stays on the land. It does not drain(排放)or dry up. If there is sand around, the sand gets very wet. Then it becomes quicksand.
