According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. For example, nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery (抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in some big cities in China, some schools have been giving students an important course: self-
protection. Students like this course because it is very useful. They can learn how to save lives and how to stop danger before it really happens and does any harm.
Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School, gives young students advice on how to deal with different kinds of dangers.
If you are robbed
Keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later everything that happened.
If you are in a traffic accident
If a car hits you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how badly you may get hurt. If it is raining hard with much lightning
Don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees.
When there is a fire
Run away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Don’t take the lift and don’t try to take anything with you.
If someone is drowning
If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Shout for help.
Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!
