Some Advice on Safety
Always play in a safe place. A park is a safe place because there is no cars or trucks. But do not talk to strangers. Never go with a stranger into a car.
Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look left, look right and look left again.
Keep away from houses or buildings that are being built or knocked down. Something might fall on your head, or you might cut yourself on broken glass.
Medicines or pills can be dangerous. Never swallow(吞下) any pills or medicines you find in the cupboard.
Don’t swim in the pool or river without adults. Wear a life jacket whenever you go out in a boat. Even if you are not in the open sea and the water is not deep, you should have your life jacket on. It's easy to fall out of a boat.
Do not put your head out of a car, bus or train. Many children have been killed by doing this.

December 27, 2019 was an exciting day for Chinese people. China's biggest and most powerful rocket, the Long March 5, was successfully launched in Hainan on that day.
The 57-meter-tall rocket is the tallest and strongest rocket in China. Since the Long March 5 is much bigger than others in the Long March rockets, it has been nicknamed "Chubby 5", according to China Daily.
The rocket is able to carry things weighing up to 25,000 kilograms-the weight of 16 midsize cars, China Daily noted. This payload is about 2.5 times greater than any other Chinese rocket. The Long March 5 is the third most powerful rocket in the world. Our Chinese scientists are really proud of it.
During the December launch, the Long March 5 successfully sent the Shijian 20th satellite, China's largest and heaviest home-made satellite, into space. In addition to sending the satellite into space, the launch also tested several projects that were used to improve the rocket's basic skills. It also tested the key project that will be used to take the Change 5 probe to the moon, according to the China National Space Center.
In the future, the Long March 5 will be used for China's fifth lunar expedition, as well as to place parts of China's space-station into space. "In 2021, we will use the Long March 5 to launch the Change's 5 probe to the moon and also send a special probe to Mars," said Wang Xiaojun, the project manager of the Long March 5.

Dear Sigmund Friend, My brother plays the guitar very well, so my parents signed me up(报名) for guitar too. But I'm just not a guitar girl. What should I do? Can't Hold |
Dear Can't Hold, Thank you for your letter. While your parents want you to play the guitar, mine hoped I'd play baseball. You would be amazed at how much my parents love baseball. My dad was the star player on his school team, and theyfirst met in line to buy hot dogs at a baseball game! Years ago, my parents thought baseball would just be in my blood and I'd be a talented player. Before I could say "Thanks, but no thanks" they had signed me up and ordered my uniform! Don't get me wrong. My training on baseball wasn't terrible. Our coach was nice and the kids on our team were great. Even though I never became very good at baseball, I did improve by the end of that season. Then something unexpected happened one day. My grandmother took me to the community pool on the way home after the baseball practice. It turned out to be the best time I ever had. I swam happily with a boy called Ben and later we became good friends. Then we decided to join a swimming team. So I talked to my parents about it that night, and they were surprisingly understanding about my wanting to be on a swimming team. But they said I should finish out that year's baseball season first. So dear Can't Hold, here's what I think. Your parents possibly think that because your brother is into guitar, you must be into it too. But they won't know how you feel if you don't talk to them about it. Why not let them know that guitar doesn't seem like the right instrument for you, and give another instrument a try? Maybe you can give violin or piano a shot. Hope my advice is helpful. Sigmund Friend |
