TikTok (抖音) is a video-sharing app that has taken the world by storm. You'll see dancing, jokes and amazing shows. Many people have found great joy in using the app. They feel relaxed when they watch the videos on TikTok after a day's hard work. However, others think it is not a good idea to use it. Some people, especially the young, have been addicted to (沉迷于) the app. They spend too much time on it. This makes them spend less time on their study or work. What's more, it is bad for their health as well. To solve this problem, TikTok has made lots of changes which are designed to protect its teenage users.
"Users aged 13—15 will not get push notifications (推送) from 21: 00, and for 16 to 17-year-olds, from 22:00. This will help them have more time on work, study, relaxation and sleep," the video-sharing app says. TikTok also made some changes that 16 to 17-year-old users will only receive messages which are good for them. "We want our users, especially younger users to develop good habits when using the Internet earlier," TikTok said.
Another change made earlier from TikTok was stricter. It was said that messages could be sent to users over 16s only. As for users aged 16 —17, if they want to send a message to others, they will need to change to a different sharing option (选择), which protects them from bad information. Besides that, before they share their first TikTok, users under 16 will be asked to choose with whom they want to share their videos.
The head of online child safety at the National Society for the the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Andy Burrows, welcomed the new changes, saying the changes from TikTok would protect teenagers. "I think this will reduce opportunities for offenders (犯罪者) to trick children." Andy said.

Now many foreigners like to pick a Chinese name for themselves. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Maybe they'd better know the following things about Chinese names first.
First, there is a big difference between a Chinese name and a Western name. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}A Chinese name puts the family name first and the given name last.
Second, Chinese given names usually have meanings. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}For example, "丽" shows that the parents want their child to stay beautiful; "健" shows that the parents wish their child to be healthy.
It's a good way for foreigners to pick a Chinese name that sounds like their Western name. But it would be better to use Chinese words that carry special meanings at the same time. For example, if a girl's name is Macy, she can pick "美诗" as her Chinese name. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
