It’s easy to think “that will never happen to me,” but natural disasters (灾难) are becoming both more common and serious. Millions of families face floods, tornadoes and other natural disasters every year. In Australia, for example, its wildfires from 2019 to 2020 were caused by the high temperature and a drought (干旱), taking away the lives of hundreds of people and billions (十亿) of animals.
While you can’t stop disasters from happening, you can stay safe during one if you know what to do.
Flood
Floods can happen very suddenly. Flood water can be deeper than it looks. It can carry you away, so stay away! Glass, snakes, and dirty things can be in flood water. They can make you sick, so don’t drink it even if you are thirsty.
Tornado
A tornado happens during some storms. If there’s a tornado warning, go someplace, such as a small and sturdy (结实的) bathroom, which is safe from the wind and flying things. Remember to keep away from windows or anything heavy that might fall on1 you. Get down low and cover your head with your arms.
Earthquake
You can stay safe during an earthquake by moving away from things that might fall. Get down under something that's strong if you can't rush out of the building right away. Protect your neck and head with your arm. If you're outside, go to an open space. Stay away from trees or anything that might fall over and hurt you.
Bushfire
Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common across the world during the hotter months. It is important that you try to stay calm in a bushfire. Some fires can start so quickly that they threaten (威胁) homes and lives within minutes, so your safest choice is always to leave early. You'd better prepare an emergency survival kit and have it handy at all times.
No one wants to be caught in a dangerous and extreme situation. If the unthinkable does take place, having a plan and knowing what to do could make all the difference for you and your loved ones.

We all love our parents: our parents love us too. Things, however, can still be wrong if both parents and children are not used to their ways of expressing love in the right way. With parent-children relationships, the importance of it is even more.
Different people have different ways of expressing love. The way someone expresses love is referred to as the language of love. In the book The Five Love Languages, the writer Gary Chapman states the five key love languages people use are: words of affirmation (肯定), quality time (spent together), receiving gifts, acts of service and physical touch.
Being brought up in a different generation, it’s not surprising to know our language of love is likely different from our parents’. For example, my parents express their love by acts of service. They like to do things for me. For me, I express love by giving words of affirmation. I also use other ways to express my love, but communicating in the form of words is the primary method I use. I’m always telling them how much I love them.
This difference created a big rift between us at the beginning. I would try to communicate with them, but get nothing in return. In turn, they kept trying to do things like buying food for me and cooking for me, but I would be impatient of their preference for food. It wasn’t until I recognized their underlying intentions(意图) that things changed.
What do you think represents love to your parents? Rather than “speak” to your parents in your language of love, speak to them in their language of love. This means if their language of love is quality time together, then spend more time with them. If their language of love is receiving gifts, then buy a small gift that means something to both of you. If their language of love is words of affirmation, give them a compliment(称赞). They will be able to recognize your intentions more easily that way, and accept them more readily.
Don’t force them to accept a language they cannot recognize. An example would be to insist on hugging them when they’re clearly uncomfortable with the idea. While you may have the best intentions, you just force them to accept your beliefs.
Learn to “speak” to them in their language, not in your language. You’ll get much better and faster results this way.

High-speed trains, Alipay ( 支付宝), shared bikes and online payment are seen as the new Four Great Achievements of China by young foreigners, according to a video survey by the Silk Road Research Institute of Beijing Foreign Studies University. In the video, young people from 20 countries along Belt and Road Routes were asked to name great inventions that had influenced their lives in China. The following is what they said from 4 young people of them.
“I’m Yala. I'm Nepal. I always go out by bike. Bicycle-sharing system allows people to borrow a bike from point “A” and return it at point “B”. It’s not only cheap but also a low-carbon and healthy way of life. I like it very much.”
“I’m Justin. I’m from Romania. China is really a great country and it’s high-speed railways are very fast, convenient and tidy. It takes me only about 6 hours from Beijing to Shanghai by train. It serves a lot of time and it’s cheaper than airplane. I wish we would have high-speed railways in our country someday.”
“I’m Archana. My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. Here in China, I seldom take money with me when I go out. I can pay for almost everything by Zhi Fu Bao. Oh, it's amazing. However, in India, if you don't take a wallet with you, you'll be in a tough spot. ”
“I am Bond. You can find many wonderful things that we don’t have in Thailand. We don’t have Alipay or other online payment Apps with which I can go shopping without stepping out of the doors. If only I could bring them back to my country.”

At the beginning of each year, many people make their resolutions. They hope to improve their lives in the coming year. So do all my family. I think it is a good way to tell yourself to work hard. But how can you remember your resolutions? We should write down our plans and wishes on a piece of paper and put it on the wall!
— Robert
Having a New Year’s resolution is good. But how can we remember it? We are busy with our work every day and we have to look after our families at the same time. We can hardly find more time to think about ourselves. So, you see, a resolution is just some words you said to yourself!
— Ben
There are different kinds of New Year’s resolutions. Some of them are easy to to keep, but some are hard. For example, if your resolution is about taking up a new hobby, it is easy to keep it. And you can practice it every day. But if you want to take a trip to the moon, it is almost impossible for you. So the resolutions should be realistic (现实的). Try to make a small resolution, or the best resolution is to have no resolution! Do you agree with me?
— Karen
