Your home is a safe place, right? Think again.

     Many serious accidents happen in people's homes. Could you please prevent these accidents? Yes. Many accidents happen because people are careless. So be careful! Here are some tips about safety.

    ·Don't stand on chairs. Many people may fall off chairs and hurt themselves.

    ·Keep the floor dry, and you won't slip (滑) or fall.

    ·Be away from matches. Even a cigarette (香煙) can easily start a fire. Don't use water to put out fires. Use salt instead.

    ·Be careful with knives! Many people cut themselves in the kitchen. Never touch the broken bottles, doors  or windows. Glass can also cause the most serious cuts.

    ·Don't keep poisons (毒藥) in the kitchen.

    ·Never use electrical appliances (電器設備) in the shower. Dry the floor before you use them, or  electricity can hurt you!

    ·Keep children away from hot water and hot drinks. They can be dangerous. But adults often forget it.

    ·Look through the peephole (門鏡) when you hear the knock on the door. Don't let strangers in.

     In a word, we should learn to protect ourselves and stay away from danger.

International students in Christine Rhodes’ English class in Australia share their impressions (印象) of places they have visited in Australia.

Canberra, the nicest city in Australia

I went for a short holiday to Canberra. My uncle lives there. It’s the nicest city in Australia, a little bit similar to Cairns. There’re lots of big rivers and trees around the city.

The small city of Mount Isa

I went to Mount Isa six months ago. It’s a long way from Brisbane — about 2,000 km. It’s a small city, with a population of 21,000, but it has all the basic facilities such as a base hospital, six schools and supermarkets. Here the weather is hot and gets very little rain. There’re two big lakes to keep rainwater for people in the city to drink.

Lake Moondarra and a mine (礦)

In Mount Isa, there’s a dam (水壩) called Lake Moondarra. At weekends you can go there with your friends, and it is beautiful. On the lake, there is water skiing. Also, people can go fishing there.

There’s a big mine in Mount Isa. Many people go to work in the mine and earn a lot of money. Mount Isa isn’t a beautiful green place, but many people love it.
