When you come to a new place, it’s easy to get lost（迷路）. Don’t be afraid. There are many things you can do to find your way.

·Have a map

You don’t need to buy a map in the store. You can have one in your phone, like Baidu Map, or Gaode Map. It’s easy to use it.

·Ask the police for help

You can always find policemen in the street. Ask them for help. They can give you a helping hand.

·Use car-hailing apps（叫车软件）

Your phone helps you again. With apps like DiDi, or DiDa, you can call a car quickly（快地）. And the cars are usually tidy and nice.

·Take a taxi

Taxi drivers know the place well. They can drive you to your destination（目的地）. So remember to take some money with you. Sometimes your phone can be dead.

Teeth are important part of our body． Everyone should brush his or her teeth every day． Learning how to take care of teeth is very important．

The importance of brushing teeth

If you eat and do not brush your teeth，pieces of food that stick to your teeth can cause problems．The food can damage（破坏）your teeth．Then germs（细菌）can get into your teeth and make them decay（腐烂）．

It is important to brush teeth every day．You should get a checkup from your dentist every year．Trying not to eat food that has a lot of sugar，such as candy and soft drinks，helps to protect teeth．

The proper ways of brushing teeth

Do you know that most people do not brush their teeth in the right way？ Follow the methods below and they will help you keep your teeth healthy，clean and beautiful．

♦Replace your toothbrush every few months．

♦Clean two or three teeth at a time． Brush the front of your teeth with a circular motion（运动）and clean the backs of your teeth with up and down motions．

♦Use a gentle back and forth motion to clean the tops of your teeth where you bite （咬）into food．

♦Don't forget to gently brush the top of your tongue （舌头）from back to front．A lot of germs live there．

♦Take at least 2 minutes to brush your teeth．

We can learn new words when we read or listen, but we should also study new words seriously. Here are a few things we can learn new words well:

Make flash cards(识字卡). 我发现这确实是学习新单词的最好办法。 Make some small cards and write the new English word on one side and the Chinese meaning on the other side to test yourself. Besides, you have to review(复习)the new words often, I think this is the best way for learning English words.

Make sentences with the new words. If you ask someone to check them, you will learn them well. It’s also great to make some really special sentences that way you won’t forget them! I also collect example sentences of the words I’m trying to learn. For example, if I see the word in a book, I write down the sentence.

Make up a mnemonic(助记符). A mnemonic is a way to remember something, like a little story. For example, I put the word “kitchen” on the door of the kitchen. The problem with this is that it works for a while but then you get used to the words and forget to read them!
