Being street smart is an important skill to have and a good way to take care of yourself.
Always carry your phone with you, but do not look at 1 while you are walking. Being able to communicate or call for help is important, so keep a list of useful numbers. But put your phone away while you are walking so that you can keep your 2 up and see what's going on around. If you do need to check your phone, 3 and look at it quickly.
Don't wear earphones 4 you are out. If you have to 5 something when you're out, use only one earphone or play it at a very low volume(音量).
Travel with 6 or family members when possible and never go anywhere with a stranger. It's 7 to be careful with strangers. Remember not to get into a stranger's car if they call you over.
8 dark and out-of-the-way places. Do not take short cuts through dark areas, even if it will make your trip much faster. If you have to go to unsafe places, go 9 someone you know or speak to someone over the phone while you are there.
Run and shout if you feel unsafe. Run away as fast as you can towards a police station, hospital, or nearby business for 10. Shout as loudly as you can to get the attention of people nearby.
