Fire is useful and important to us. You use it to cook meals every day. But if you are not careful, the fire may dangerous anytime. Many people get hurt or die in fires. So knowing how to protect yourself in the fire is very important.
When the fire happens, the first thing you must do is to find safe routs (路线) to get away quickly. If you are in the taller floors of the building, you can’t use the lift. You should run out along the stairs. From the lower floors of the building, you can jump out through the window if it is necessary.
If you can’t get out of the room, you must be careful of the smoke. In fact, most of the people in fires die from the heavy smoke. Find something wet to cover your nose and mouth. Keep low to the ground, and you will take in less smoke. And you can also open the window, keep your head outside to get fresh air and shout for help.
Remember: Nothing is more important than your life. You must leave everything behind, your money, your pets and so on. After you’re out, don’t go back for anything.
Follow these ways, and you can keep safe in the fire.

Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together. And this can be most important when you share walls, floors or ceilings with neighbors in a flat. A noisy neighbor can make life challenging, especially if noise goes well into night, or happens during early morning hours. This situation needs to be dealt with properly, which requires your ability to keep calm.
You should first try to tell your noisy neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite, even friendly. It can begin with a statement like “I am not sure you are aware”. Explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbor to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 a. m. You can also add that you realize they hear your noise too, and you are certainly willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating extra noise.
You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirement, and some may act in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbors don’t change their behavior, the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter. The letter should show your grievances(不满) and the dates when the noise was quite terrible. For example, if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning, then write down those dates.
When the noise remains going on, you should report it to local authorities(权力部门), or even the police department, when it is really necessary. Often, however, the problem is solved when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police.
Do be aware that you cannot always require noisy neighbors to be quiet. When the noise remains going on, it is wise not to deal with it in an angry or retaliatory(报复性的) fashion. If you have completed the steps and letter, don’t start hitting walls or floors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry. Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important.

Everyone needs a break, and holidays are a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. Summer vacation is coming so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English literature to take on a long train journey while you’re hanging out with the family.
If you’re at the beginner level, there are two choices: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. This will help you understand better, since you’ve already known the story. If you’re at the middle level, popular books like novels and mysteries are good choices, as they are attractive enough to increase the possibility of your understanding of the book. For top readers, science books, classical books or prize winners, such as Nobel, Pulitzer are good choices.
The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few pages are always really hard to get through, as I have to get used to the way the writer uses the language. But after that, things get a lot easier, especially if I like the story.
Another great way to help you read in the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and talk about the book with each other by QQ or e-mail. I’m doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve done this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.
Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; and if you like horror, Stephen King’s novels are always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or writer that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!
