Original:
I watched a piece of new about the fish. The temperature of the past few days was very high in Dazhou City, Sichuan Province. Yesterday, the temperature in the most areas of Dazhou city was over 35 degree, and some areas can reach 38 degree. The temperature of the water in the fishpond was very high, the fish could not adapt the hot water, so they died. The farmer who had the fishpond said that this was the first time that the fish died so many since he started planting fish. The water’s temperature was so high that people could not bear more than one hour when they were standing in the fishpond.

Edit:
I read (sounds like dead) a piece of news about fish. The temperature over the past few days was very high in Dazhou City, Sichuan Province. Yesterday, the temperature in most areas of Dazhou was over 35 degrees, and in some areas as high as 38 degree. The temperature of the water in fishponds was very high and the fish could not adapt to the hot water, so they died. The farmer who had the fishpond said that this was the first time that the fish died in such high numbers since he started farming fish. The water’s temperature was so high that people could not bear / standing in the pool or more than one hour /  more than one hour when they were standing in the fishpond.
