A terrible outside-school activity happened in Shenzhen before. A student was tying(系)his shoelaces on an escalator(自动扶梯)when it reached the floor. This caused a stampede(踩踏事件). Nine students were included' the most important thing of all. Usually people stand on the right side of the escalator, because our right arms are stronger.

Escalators are like moving toys for many kids,They like to run up and down on them. This is dangerous, even if you are not in the way. Escalator steps are not designed for running, experts warn. The empty space between every two steps on an escalator is usually wider than that of normal steps in buildings.

The above two rules apply to(适用于)most countries. But there are also some cultural differences.

In most countries, people stand on the right side on escalators. The left side is saved for those who are in a hurry. But in Australia, people usually stand on the left side.

So you need to watch what local people do. But the idea behind choosing a side on escalators is the same: to show your respect to others. It could also save people's lives.
