We go to school every day and enjoy our school life. School life is full of fun, and the school seems to be the safest place in the world.

But do you know that our school life could be dangerous if we are not careful enough? How do we make the school safer ? Here are some tips for us to be safe in an easy way. For example, we must remember some important rules in the playground. Before we do sports, we need to do some warm up activities(热身运功), and after that we should drink some water. And in the classroom, we need to learn how to behave well. Don’t run in the hallways. We mustn’t fight with or run after each other. And teachers need to keep an eye on the students after class and stop them from running. We students should remember not to be naughty and get into trouble. What’s more, we can have some practice to learn to protect ourselves from a fire. In this way, we can know where to go if there is a fire in our school. We should learn to use the fire extinguisher（灭火器）,too. I don’t think we should put our a fire by ourselves, because it is too dangerous for young students. Well, I think all of us should think more of our safety in school.
