According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of the students say they are worried about robbery(抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in main big cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring things. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens. A teacher named Chen Haoyu gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.

If you are robbed, please keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.

If a car hits you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt.

If it is raining hard and there is lighting, don’t stay in high places and stay away from tall trees.

When there is a fire, get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not use the lift.

If you see that someone is drowning(溺水) but you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.

Separate eating(分开就餐) is common in the European countries. However, in China's eatingculture, whether eating at home or eating out,a grouped eating system is used in most situations.

However, COVID-19 has challenged the Chinese eating tradition of sharing dishes together, which makes the government, restaurants and citizens rethinkabout eating customs.

Standards on individual (单人的) eating, serving two pairs of chopsticks cameout on March 18, 2020. The purpose of the new standards is to protect the public health in a scientificand practical way. Over 200 companies have followed the standards. In order to encourage more companies and customers to follow the standards, some restaurants offer free parking to those who use serving chopsticks.

For Chinese,it is not easy to change their eating behavior,because they think the grouped eatingsystemis a tradition. When they share the food, they are building up a close relationship among people. Besides,it is difficult to divide Chinese dishes into separate parts.

Eating separately is a break from tradition, but it is helpful to prevent diseases from spreadingand improve health. People can still sit at the same table, sharing the same food and the same culturein a new way. It also means a chance of creating somethingnew in Chinese food.
