" Face" has special meanings in Chinese culture. If you want to live in China, you【1】learn something about " face" .You must hear of two common expressions,“give face" and " lose face". In Chinese culture ,‘give face ' means respecting someone.【2】 you don't " give face" to others,they may think that you don't respect them.【3】Chinese, " lose face" is translated into " diulian".

It is easy to find " face"" in all aspects of Chinese life. 【4】seems that Chinese people don't like to say the word " No" because they want to”save face". They may say "It is inconvenient for me right now"，"It is too difficult "or " Maybe". And the word " Yes" is also difficult【5】understand for foreign friends. Sometimes Chinese people say" Yes, but it is inconvenient",which actually means " No" .

This thing didn't happen by chance.【2】Such heartbreaking cases raise public concerns about the risk of injury by falling objects.More and more people are worrying about being hurt by falling objects. They want everyone to pay attention to such accidents. 【3】.The local government should take action to stop people from throwing objects from high-rise buildings.

Lawyers and legal experts are expecting to see more specific laws to deal with such eases. Under Tort Liability Law of the People's Republic of China，people who throw objects that hurt people should pay for the victims' medical care.

But in many ceases, it's hard to find out who is responsible. This makes the situation more difficult. 【4】.

Many people have turned to video cameras as a quick fix to solve the problem. Some areas in Nanjing have used cameras to spot objects falling from high-rise buildings, which can only see the outside of the buildings.

【5】For example, there should be more quality checks for windows and more efforts to remind people of the risk of falling objects.

Creating a study plan

Studying is important to students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.

Then, how to make a study plan? Well, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next, you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every day. In this way, you actually have a plan you can remember easily. While arranging ( 安排) time for each subject, you also need to make sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest. This is because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance Your personal life and your study.

Once the plan is made, the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted ( 诱惑) to avoid it and do something relaxing, or fun instead. Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. So at the start of your break, set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music.

To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are herd to follow because some important people in our lives distract ( 使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.
