The Lantern Festival is one of the biggest holidays in China. It is called the Yuan Xiao Festival as well.

The main accidents at school are stampedes（踩踏）, earthquakes and fires.

A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, put your hands around your head. Move to one side, and bend（弯）your body and legs.

Earthquakes happen all over the world. When you feel everything is moving, quickly get under a desk and hold on, according to China Earthquake Administration（地震局）.If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines（电线）.

When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. This way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire, but smoke. It makes them cough and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself lower to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air.
