Don’t use earphones when running in the schoolyard or on the street. You will keep yourself from the outside world and can be easily surprised.
Schoolbags should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting them on your back. When buses are crowded, it is easy enough for thieves to steal the things in your bag on your back.
If you are followed by a stranger, cross the street and go to the other way, let the stranger know that you know he or she is after you. Next, go and get help from others if it is necessary. Don’t go home directly. You are safer on the street than you are in your home or in a lift.

Don’t play with matches(火柴）or candles, because it may cause fire. If your house catches fire and you have to escape through smoke, move on your hands and knees with your head 30 to 60 centimeters(厘米）above the floor. Please remember there is cleaner, cooler air near the floor during the fire.
