According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. Now in some big cities in China, some school have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.

Lin Li, a teacher at Changchun No. 5 Middle School gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.

1 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’re hurt.

2 Don’t stay at high places and stay away from trees.

3 Run away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.

4 If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.

5 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.

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

With the improvement of people’s living conditions, more and more people choose to buy and live in high-rise buildings. However, it’s not easy to run away for life in a high-rise building fire. How will we save ourselves when there is a high-rise building fire? Here is some great advice.

Know where the fire exits. This way, you may find a safe way to escape (逃生) very quickly. When running in a fire, bend down (弯腰) and bring an escape mask ( 口罩) or a wet towel. To avoid breathing in harmful gases, you can use them to cover your mouth and nose.

When there is a fire, try to get out of your house as fast as possible. Stop thinking about money and expensive things in your home. Life is more important. But when the door handle (手柄) is too hot or dark smoke pours into your house, don’t open the door at once.

If the fire starts on your floor or the upper floor, run down through the exit as quickly as possible. But if the fire starts on the floor below yours and fire is on the way, be careful to wait at home for help. While waiting for help in the house, you can cover the door with wet towels or clothes. If possible, keep cooling the door with water.

Finally, never take a lift or jump off the building in a fire. Try to be smart and think of all ways to save yourself.

Have you been quite forgetful lately? Have you been worried? If you are worried about losing keys and forgetting names, here are some ways for you.

Find out your own learning style

We all have our own ways of learning and remembering. Some of us have to say something out loud to remember it; others may have to write it down. Whatever your learning style is, accept it and find out a way that will work with it, whether it is written/audio notes (音频笔记) or some other ways.

Repeat a lot

Do something many times, and it is possible for you to remember it.

Repeating can help you turn short-term memory into long-term memory. It can feel a little silly writing down everything, or saying something to yourself 10 times in order to get through your day, but if it’s necessary, then go ahead and do it.

Avoid unnecessary distractions (干扰)

With each day bringing fresh bad news, we have more distractions than ever before. However, there are many ways you can cut down the number of distractions.

The first one is trying to use your mobile phone less. Some studies show Internet use is making our attention last shorter and our memory worse. Although it’s almost impossible to keep away from the Internet, using your mobile phone less can help.

The second one is to avoid doing many things at the same time. It has also been shown to influence long-term memory.
