Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge（知识）. If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.

▲Your bag should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting it on your back. When a bus is full of people, it is easy enough for a thief to take away the things in the bag on your back.
▲If you are followed by someone you don’t know, cross the street and go to the other way, let the pe rson understand that you know he or she is after you. Next, don’t go home at once. You are safer in the street than you are alone in your home or in a lift（电梯）.
