【推荐3】Playing sports is a lot of fun while getting hurt isn’t. Before playing sports, the students should warm up for 15 to 30 minutes. When playing sports, they should know the rules to avoid injuries (免受伤). For example, in soccer, they should go after the ball rather than the player. This way, they won’t hurt others. What do other countries do to keep students safe?

Japan

At public elementary schools in Japan, earthquake drills (地震演练) are held once a month. They teach students safety tips during an earthquake. Regular training helps students escape from earthquake-stricken areas without causing any stampedes (踩踏).

Australia

Most students in Australia take first-aid courses at school. They learn basic first-aid knowledge in the class such as how to call an ambulance for first aid and what to do when someone is hurt. The government is trying to make all kids take such courses.

America

Most US school buildings have fire escapes (逃生口). A fire escape has platforms with stairs and ladders at each story of a building. They are usually made of steel and built outside the building. People can get to the fire escape through a fire exit door or a window. It is not a good idea to jump out of a window from higher than two stories. You may hurt yourself.
