In Xi’an, there are special sidewalks for the phubbers（低头族）. Different people have different opinions on it.
| Li Minyi, 14, Beijing This special walkway can keep people who are always looking at their phones safe and protect them from accidents. People might feel much freer when using this walkway, because they used to knock into someone else on a crowded one. |
| Huang Xi, 15, Jiangsu It just encourages people to keep looking at their phones. Just imagine if everyone only paid attention to their mobile phones while walking, walkways like this would be useless and accidents would still happen. |
| Chen Yecheng, 14, Hubei Mobile phones have made a big difference in our lives. It seems that many people can’t live without them. Every year, many people get injured or lose their lives because they are playing on their mobile phones while walking. So why not create a better environment for them? The special walkways can protect them from danger. |
| Sun Run, 14, Zhejiang Smart phones are making a difference to our lives too much. They keep us away from reality and the beauty around us. A special walkway for those is indulgence（纵容）. Can’t people put their phones down for a while and enjoy a beautiful day? This is what we should encourage. |

Dirar Abohoy is a 32-year-old man. He spends as much time on his hands as he does on his feet. He has trained to walk on his hands from a very young age. So now he can do all kinds of unique（独一无二的）tricks with his legs in the air.
Although Dirar lives in Tigray, northern Ethiopia, he grew up watching Chinese and American movies. When he was a kid, he thought all the unique skills he saw in the movies were real. Therefore, he started to train himself in order to copy his heroes. When he grew up, he learned that most of the unique skills in his favorite films were not real. But by that time, Dirar had already become good at hand walking. So he kept on training. In an interview with BBC, Dirar said that he trains three hours in the morning, and another three in the evening. He hopes that one day he will set a Guinness Record with his skills. He can pull cars and climb mountains while standing on his hands. And he can even carry people on his back while walking on his hands. So I’m sure his dream will come true very soon.
A video of Dirar practicing his hand walking became popular on the Internet last week. And it drew mixed reactions from the public. Some people found his skills amazing. And other people simply said that there are much better things he can do with his hands than using them for walking, because he has two healthy legs to use for that.
