Now that I’m studying in Shanghai, I feel really safe here. B: It’s been three months since you came to our university, hasn’t it? A: Three and a half, to be exact. The feeling of security in Shanghai really makes me think about other big cities. I used to live in a big city and I’ve been to other big cities in my country and abroad, but I’ve never experienced such a sense of security as here. I’m curious about how you achieved your social order.

20. Dialogues1_2 Dialogue I Dialogue B: A: We can’t say that our country is free from social ills. But comparatively speaking, China’s crime rate is one of the lowest in the world. One reason for this is our constant educational campaigns to raise people’s moral and legal awareness.

They are the people who help safeguardthe country’s sovereignty and dignity and maintain public security. They also protect the lives and property of people.
