Dear Editor,
Recently our school has set up a rule that no student allowed to take their mobiles into class, which has aroused a lot of discussions among we students.
Many of the students feel strong against the rule, arguing that the mobile had become a necessary part of our life. They also consider that a must for us to get relaxing from our busy studies.
When it comes to me, like some other student I hold a different opinion. While a mobile phone can help us get some relief, with it we can be more devoted to our studies, but spare more time to communicate with those around us. Therefore, I believe in this school rule is beneficial to every student.
Yours,

It can be definitely terrifying to fall through ice on a frozen lake. 1.In fact, there is more time to help you survive than you think.
As you first hit the freezing water, you will almost breathe quickly at once. Remember to get control of your breathing and not to move around. 2.This means that it takes about one minute to gain control of your breathing, ten minutes to move before you get too cold. The final one is to remind you that it will take one hour before you become unconscious.
Take that first minute and fully focus on your breathing. Slow it down, and then look around to see if you can locate the thickest area of ice. When you locate the ice, stretch your arms over the surface, and then begin to flutter-kick(上下打水)until your body becomes horizontal with the surface. 3..
It is possible that you can live for several hours after passing out. This, however, does require some planning. You only have about 10 minutes before your muscles and nerves become too cold to work. Besides, what if you feel too weak to go on and you cannot get out?4.The point is to encourage your coat to freeze to the ice, so that if you lose consciousness, you will keep your head out of ice.
5..
A. Remember that you should always stay off ice that’s only 3 inches.
B. Place your arms over the surface of the ice and remain still.
C. It can help to remember the “1-10-1 principle”.
D. However, if you remain calm, it can save your life.
E. Remove any clothing or heavy objects that are weighting you down.
F. Thus you will remain visible for rescue, even if you pass out.
G. Kick hard and use your arms and hands to climb out of the water.
