Write a summary of the article
A possible version:
Bullying is a serious issue that affects a large number of people. It can be physical, verbal or social, all of which do great harm to those being bullied. Sometimes, we can bully others indirectly by watching and doing nothing or encouraging bullies in other ways. Creating an anti-bullying group is a good idea to raise people's awareness. We need to work together and take action to prevent bullying from happening.

Post-writing
1. Work in pairs and polish your summary based on the thinking map and the writing tips given above. Check the following aspects:
□ Have I covered all the key points?
□ Have I used brief and accurate expressions?
□ Is the summary well organized? Is it coherent?
□ Have I made any grammatical or spelling mistakes?
□ In what aspects should I make improvements next time?

1. What consequences may bullies contribute to?

2. If you see someone being bullied, what will you do?
There are several measures that I can take. For example, I can report bullying to teachers and ask for their assistance. If it’s a rather serious case, I can collect evidence and report it to the police. I can also encourage friends to support me and take a stand. Together, we can motivate others to settle disputes.
