If you have to describe (描述) yourself to someone else, what will you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but knowing who you are, or being self-aware, can help you understand feelings and make friendships closer.
Self-awareness means having a good understanding of our own character. If you’re self-aware, you may know that you love playing an instrument because you do well in it, and music makes you happy, or that you like watching TV better on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like and dislike, what you are good or bad at allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and build confidence. The WHO (World Health Organization) says self-awareness is one of ten important life skills that help young people live healthier and happier lives. Being self-aware doesn’t mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too.
How do you learn to be self-aware? It is a good way to ask questions. Ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. For example, if you don’t understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you’re arguing.
Learning to be more self-aware is a skill. You learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different kinds of music. Don’t be afraid to dislike something—discovering what you don’t like is a key part of learning more about yourself.

A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others’ guidance and he usually follows the same path of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is: are all of those people successful? Of course not! If you want to follow a crowd, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you’ll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that’s why following the crowd makes no sense at all.
Most people act without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because
they're greater than you in number, then sooner or later you'll discover that you're
making decisions you might regret later.
However, should we never follow the crowd？No. I'm not trying to say you should never follow the crowd, but instead I'm just asking you to think wisely before you take a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you have doubts about the direction they're moving in, don't follow them blindly.

The last Monday in March is an important day in China. It is a day for school safety education (安全教育). It falls on March 27th in 2023. It helps students learn more about safety and make sure they are safe. What are some common accidents at school? How can you keep yourself safe? Let’s take a look!
The main accidents at school are stampedes (踩踏), earthquakes and fires.
A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, put your hands around your head. Move to one side, and bend (弯) your body and legs.
Earthquakes happen all over the world. When you feel everything is shaking, quickly get under a desk and hold on, according to China Earthquake Administration (地震局). If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines (电线).
When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. This way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire, but smoke (烟). It makes them cough and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself lower to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air.
