In summer, many of us like spending time around areas of water. However, life is full of the unexpected. If you see someone in trouble in the water, do you know what the best way to help them is?

I have taken my lifesaving course for three years. We meet at our center every Saturday.

I believe that I can help others when they fall into the water, but I’m nervous about who could save me.

Lifesaving course

A lifesaving course teaches you what to do if there’s danger in the water. It shows you how to help a person and how to be safe when you are around water. It teaches you helpful skills such as first aid and how to use open-water throw bags and life rings. It doesn’t matter how old you are.

Here is some lifesaving basic advice about water safety. First, when around water, “stop and think” before going into water. Second, always “stay together” with friends or family and swim at a lifeguarded (救生员的) place. Third, in open-water areas shout loudly to ask others to help and throw a floating object (漂浮的物品) for the person to hold onto. Fourth, if you are the person in trouble, keep your cool, float on your back and call for help loudly.

【推荐2】With air pollution making much difference to many of Chinese cities, parents are calling for the installation(安装) of air cleaners in classrooms. There has been much debate over whether air cleaners should be used in China’s schools. Some parents have donated cleaners to their children’s classrooms, while others raise money together to make the purchase(购买). “Our school bought air cleaners last year. We did a little fund raising, with each parent throwing in several hundred for that,” said one parent.

However, the idea of installing air cleaners for all the classes has been refused by some schools. Liu Liangcheng, vice-principal of Beijing’s Taipinglu Primary School, says installing air cleaners bought by parents may lead to problems. “We have refused air cleaners bought by parents before, as there are clear and strict rules against educational fees. We can’t just break the rules here. And without standard guidance (指示) from local authorities(权威部门), it is hard to decide on the brand of the cleaner, installation and even safety of the device(设备).”

Moreover, experts say air cleaners can cause other health problems. Deng Gaofeng who works for the China Academy of Building Research says. “ In the classroom, if we keep windows and doors closed, the concentrations (浓度) of CO₂ will double from 1,000 PPM to some 2,000 PPM. According to national safety standards, the highest level should not be more than 1,500.” In addition, experts say air cleaners on the market are mostly designed for homes or offices. Evaluation(评估) is needed to know whether they are suitable in classrooms.

It seems whether air cleaners should enter China’s schools is an ongoing question. It still requires a more detailed plan.
