Boys and girls,
Attention, please! Do you know how to keep safe in our everyday life? Today I'd like to tell you some ways to keep safe.
A park is a safe place because there are no cars or buses in it.
Second, obey the traffic rules, please! Before crossing a road, stop and look both ways—look left and right. You should walk on the right side of the road.
Third, never put your head or hands out of a car, a bus or a train.
Fourth, don't talk to strangers or go with them, especially for the children. That will be dangerous.
A.First,always play in a safe place. B.I hope you can follow them. C.Many people get hurt or lose their lives by doing that. D.Don't give your name, phone number or personal(个人的) information to strangers. E.Don't ride your bike too fast. |
If you're away from home, feeling a bit blue or searching for some comfort, the Danes have a solution. It's called “hygge”. Coming from Danish culture, but popularized by the British in 2016, hygge is much more than just a word, it's becoming a feeling around the world.
The hygge refers to the sense of happiness you get when your family is gathered together at new year or Christmas. It is all about the pleasant feelings of home: the smell of your mother's cooking, your partner's arm around your shoulder and so on.
Hygge is an antidote(良药) to stress. You know when you've got it, a gentle warmth starts spreading through your body. Another important part of hygge is that it has nothing to do with modern technology. It's a period time to relax your tired mind and eyes. So, put down that smartphone and turn off the computer.
You should also know that hygge is not about healthy eating or more exercise. In fact, it's just the opposite. You're supposed to be lost in what you like: enjoy sweet snacks and calorie-laden cakes freely.
Let yourself be carried on a wave of nostalgia(怀旧) back to your birthplace, and remember the childhood songs of your distant youth with a smile. If it helps, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sleep with one of your favorite books (not a pill or e-reader).
If Denmark seems too far, then think of old Beijing with its hutong and courtyard houses. Picture yourself sit around a traditional stove with your loved ones, eating dumplings and chatting about the old days. Let yourself drift back in time to a period where everything is relaxing, and there is no need to reply to any e-mails or text messages. They did not exist(存在) back then.
Now you've really understood hygge without even having to set foot in Copenhagen.
