What should you do if there is an earthquake at school? How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede(奔逃)? Now, accidents happen to primary and middle school students from time to time.
Experts point out that more than 80% of accidents can be avoided by improving students’ self-protection ability through safety education and prevention. So on the last Monday in March, we have a good chance to learn some knowledge about safety.
This day is called the National Safety Education Day for Middle and Primary School Students(全国中小学生安全教育日). The purpose of the day is to give us more knowledge about safety.
Let’s see what students have learned about how to keep themselves safe in different situations.
Advice for a stampede If you fall down a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands, lean to curl up(卷起,弯曲) your legs.—Johnson | Advice for an earthquake *Indoors Drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. *Outdoors Stay away from buildings, walls and power poles(电线杆). *If you are in a car, stop in a safe place and stay inside the car until the earthquake stops. *If you are in a crowded place, protect your head with your arms or take cover under seats and tables.—Ted |
Advice for a fire When there’s a fire, follow the teachers’ instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose.—Susan |
Experts also point out staying calm is the first and most important rule when you’re facing accidents. Students need to deal with different accidents with different self-protection tips.
Now many schools have taken actions to teach students how to protect themselves. For example, at some schools earthquake drills(演习) are held once a month. Some schools also encourage students to take first-aid courses at school.
Wang Yuequn, an expert on education law at the Academy of Educational Sciences, said that protecting the safety of students is the common responsibility of schools(意识), master safety knowledge, and improve their self-protection ability. Parents should be responsible to monitor their children and make safety education an important part of family education.
