But dont worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people.Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan in 2008. Thousands of people died in it. So its important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake.If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.If you are in a shop and far from the door, dont try to run outside and rush for exit. Everyone will be doing that and youll find it hard getting out. Dont get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong cover near you.When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself.

Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. Im afraid youll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. Its the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice. Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. Especially for the children in English-speaking countries. First, listen to others. Then, try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesnt matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word. Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. Hes afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Dont be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important, when theres nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. Its interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes youll make. Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books were interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important. Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Dont be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success. Easier said than done. Well, lets do more practice from now on. Im sure youll learn English well in this way.（1）You can learn to swim by _.

They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. The most important thing is that chopsticks are a great invention in China.Five thousand years ago people usually cooked their food in large pots, using twigs (小树枝) to remove it. the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces. Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs by people. And twigs were gradually changed into chopsticks.Some people think that the famous scholar Confucius living from about 551 BC to 479 BC pushed the development of chopsticks. Confucius believed that using chopsticks instead of knives would remind people to stay away from killing and violence at table.We enjoy our delicious food with our family
