A survey(调查) shows that the worst accidents were a result of stampedes(踩踏), fires and traffic. Experts suggest that right safety ways could avoid 80% of these accidents.

A stampede happens easily in a place where a lot of people are gathered(聚集). When students around you begin to push, stand still(不动的) and hold on to something or stay in a corner.
When there’s a fire, stay calm and follow teachers’ instructions. Leave the classroom and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don’t breathe in smoke.
If you take a school bus on your way home or to school, remember to fasten(系牢) your seatbelt and don’t walk around when it is moving. If you walk to school or go by bike, follow traffic rules. Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right for cars before you cross the road.
