People know the dangers of fires. It's good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.

Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.

Make escape plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

Buy fire extinguishers in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.

Practise for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:

Don't open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.

Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire.

The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.

What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don't run! The fire bums faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.

There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don't forget to call 119 for help.

When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked, There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies (复杂性) of reading letters to form words.

If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two—year-ood for the matter) , the child has the right to be given every encouragement , The fact that he or she nlight later be“bored”when joining a class of non—readers at child school is the teacher’s affair.It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advaueed reading material.

Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to juniro school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike, They should make certain that he is not dyslexic(having difficulty in reading )

Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life) there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms. For instance , tie a nice piece of cardborad to their bed with BED written in neat big letters.

Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read，and if the parents are capable of doing so，such an attraction should not be ignored But the task should never be made to look like a hara job and tile child should never be forccd to continue，or his interest should start to flag
