Have you ever watched the big parade(游行) on Tian’anmen Square on October 1? Some students performed in the big parade. In order to get ready for(准备) it, this summer, many Beijing middle school students had a different kind of vacation. Instead of hanging out with friends or traveling, they trained(训练) hard for the 60th birthday of China this year.
Students trained from 7:30 am to around 10:00 am or from 4 pm to 6:30 pm, because it was very hot this summer. They wore white hats, T-shirts and blue trousers. The hats and T-shirts were printed with a red logo, the number "60".
The first week of training was PE. Students practiced standing and squatting. Then they moved on to practice the group show. When we watched the parade on TV we saw them making colorful pictures.
What did the students think of their unusual summer? "Sometimes we find it a bit tiring." said Lu Wenqi, 13. "But most of us think it's a great honor to take part in such an important show." Li Hui, 15, thought the same as Lu. She said her classmates were hardly late for training. "It's a wonderful chance for us," said Li.

According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. Now in some cities of China, many schools start a new lesson: self-protection (自我保护). Students like this lesson. They can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.
Mr. Guo, a teacher from Jinzhou, gives young students some advice on how to deal with (处理) danger.
If you are in a traffic accident
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 lightning
Don’t stay in high places and stay away from 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(出口). Don’t take the lift.
If someone is drowning
If you can’t swim, don’t get into water. Shout for help. Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!
