According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of the students say they are worried about robbery (抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China, some schools are teaching an 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 prevent danger before it really happens. 

Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No 5 Middle School, gives young students advice on how to take care of themselves.

If you are robbed (被抢劫)

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.

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 lightning.

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

When there is a fire. 

Run away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Don’t take the lift. (电梯).

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

Joe was an old man. The 75-year-old lived very happily in a village and had a beautiful family. His children grew up and moved to different cities. Now, Joe has four grandchildren, and they visit him during their holidays.

During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much, especially after his wife’s death. He was very upset about losing it.

Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.

One granddaughter asked: “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?”

“I guess when I was cleaning the barn!” Joe replied.

The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort their grandfather.

One grandson went back to the barn to look again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to keep silent.

He was there for about 15 minutes and then rushed to his grandfather. He found the watch and happily gave it to Joe.
