More and more people live and work in tall buildings nowadays. But if there is a big fire going on in the buildings, it will be not easy for people to get away from these tall buildings. Here is some advice you need to follow.

Firstly, make sure you are safe and make sure you know where the exit is.     1     But if you can’t find the exit, don’t try to jump out of the building. You may die for that. Secondly, call 119 and let the firemen know your building is on fire.     2    

Thirdly, touch the door to make sure if it is hot or not.     3     You need to find other ways to run away. Then put wet towels along the bottom of the door to stop the smoke coming in.

Moreover, get away as soon as possible. There may be heavy smoke outside.     4     Finally, when the firemen come to help, follow what they say.

【推荐2】What are you like? It can be difficult to answer. If you see yourself from the outside, but being self-aware(自知的) can help.

Self-awareness is an ability(能力) to see ourselves clearly, to understand who we are, how others see us and how we get into the world. For example, if you’re self-aware, you may know that you love playing some kind of sports because you’re good at it, or you love watching cartoons because they help you relax.

Being self-aware lets you make better decisions about friendship, schoolwork and even which films to watch. You learn to trust your feelings more. It’s important because it helps to have a happier and healthier life. But being self-aware doesn’t mean you are selfish and only thinking of yourself. By understanding your feelings, you can understand others’ feelings, too.

A good way to be self-aware is by asking questions. Ask “what”, but not “why”. For example, if you don’t know why you keep fighting with your parents, ask yourself what you disagree on, but not why you are fighting. Another way is to try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different music. Finding out what you like and dislike, and what you are good or poor at is a part of learning more about yourself.

MBTI is a personality (性格) test. Many people in China are interested in it now. “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?”     1    

Many people find the test helpful. It groups people into 16 types. So they can make decisions more quickly. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “    2     I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They may think like this.

    3     Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with my friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’ ”?

Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older.     4     Don’t label (标签) yourself!

When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic (通用的).     5     So, don’t take it too seriously.

Brought out on Aug 30th, this video series has become popular online with its moving and creative story. It mainly tells the story of a rare Chinese jade teapot (玉茶壶) who runs away from the British Museum and has been looking for a way to return home to China. A Chinese journalist (新闻记者) named Zhang Yong’an helps the artifact (文物) go back home.

The series was created by Chinese vloggers Jianbing Guozai and Xiatian Meimei to draw people’s attention to Chinese artifacts that are kept abroad. To get ready for the TV show, the two stopped making their own videos for three months and went to the UK to learn about the story of the Chinese jade teapot.

Many people have been moved by the lines in the series, such as “My family, I have been lost for a long time,” and “As long as I’m with my family, I’m safe”. Also, the face of the “jade teapot” is dirty, and she is surprised by how big the journalist’s house is, because her own place—a crowded cabinet (陈列柜) is really small. Viewers say this shows that the British Museum doesn’t take good care of the artifacts.

In mid-August, it was reported that more than 2,000 artifacts from the British Museum were missing, stolen or damaged. This has caused a heated discussion on social media in China, calling for the return of Chinese artifacts.
