Here are some suggestions. Put a smoke alarm (火警) in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to
go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape (逃脱) plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone
follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened
easily.
Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family
should know the following fire rules:
★ Don"t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
★ Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because
smoke rises.
★ What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don"t run! The fire burns faster
because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put
a blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don"t forget
to call 119 for help.

| Have you heard about "Survival (生存) Holidays" ? "Survival Holidays" is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents. The reason why people like "Survival Holidays" is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. "Survival Holidays" gives them an important change. Is "Survival Holidays" a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children don"t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them. Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team.
