When Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy (垃圾分类政策) in July last year, the people in the city took some time to learn about it. They said that every time they took out their garbage, the workers standing by the bins would ask, “What kind of garbage are you carrying?” Starting on May 1, Beijing began a new garbage-sorting policy, People’s Daily reported. People should sort their garbage into four groups when they take out the rubbish.

There are four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled; the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste. “If we don’t succeed in sorting our trash correctly we may be fined 200 yuan”, A mand interviewed by Xinhua said.

To help people sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is giving online guidelines (指导). If people don’t know how to throw away garbage, they can look for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out. By typing a key word or taking a photo, people can find out which group their waste should be in at once.

These days we notice the rubbish bins (垃圾箱) are in different colors on the street. The bins are in different colors because they can help people sort the waste. When we throw away rubbish, we should know which bin we should choose first.

Some of us might find it hard to choose the correct bin. However, it’s actually quite important to know how to sort your rubbish. If we don’t know how to sort rubbish, it can be harder to save energy and protect the environment. If we don’t sort our rubbish, cleaners will bury (埋) all the rubbish together. It takes up large areas of ground that can be used for planting trees.        

Shanghai is the first city to put rubbish-sorting into practice in China. Shanghai government asks the people to sort rubbish into four kinds. They are wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

Wet rubbish is the rubbish that people produce after they eat or drink. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are called recyclable rubbish. Harmful rubbish includes things like medicine, batteries (电池) and so on. Finally, any rubbish that is not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the dry rubbish bin.

Many Chinese big cities plan to put rubbish-sorting (垃圾分类) into practice. Now that you know this, perhaps you can take part in sorting the rubbish.

With the development of the economic, people’s life has improved a lot. People produce more and more rubbish.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks for your attention.

According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery (抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in main big cities in China some schools have taught all unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.

Lin Li, a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School, give young students advice on how to deal with danger.

If you are robbed.

Keep calm. If you can not cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.

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 seriously you are hurt.

If it is raining hard and there is lighting.

Don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees.

When there is a fire.

Run away as fast as yon can, put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.

Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!
