A navigation satellite system uses groups of satellites, they send information to a receiver, such as your smart phone. Then they can find where you are.
The earliest navigation system is the Global (全球的) Positioning System(GPS) of the United States, The US has put 24 satellites into space to make sure GPS can locate a person correctly and globally. Russia's GLONASS and European Union's Galileo can also work globally.
The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is China's homegrown navigation system. It was set up in 2000. With it, China became the third country to build a navigation system after the US and Russia.
BeiDou can find you wherever you are. It helps you go faster by finding shortcuts and using correct directions. When you are in trouble and call the police, they will know exactly where you are if you have a smart phone that uses BeiDou.

Writing is a much newer invention than talking. Nobody knows when people first began to talk, but so far as we know, they did not begin to write until seven or eight thousand years ago.
In Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China, and later in Palestine and Greece, people began to make marks and pictures with sticks and sharp stones from which others, or they themselves later, could see what they had thought.
These early records were the beginning of writing. The first writing was picture writing. Here are some early Chinese picture words. Can you see what they represent (代表)?
Later Chinese writing is less like pictures than the earlier writing was, but we can see the pictures in some of its words. For example：
In picture writing, each picture represents a word; you need a different picture or mark for each word.
In present—day Chinese writing most of the marks are not pictures of anything, and a reader has to learn how the Chinese write about two thousands of these words before being able to read a newspaper.
With some of these marks you may be able to see what the idea is, For example：
The sun and the moon. 
Its meanings are: "bright" and "open".
A man and two marks. 
One of the meanings is "humanity".

However, every coin has two . The app also has bad things. On the one hand, some people spend long hours the app, which is harmful for their health. On the hand, users can also find some bad things on the app. Such thing is unsuitable and meaningless.
In my opinion, Douyin should check the videos they are uploaded(上传)in order to keep a healthy environment for its users. Douyin is not for teenagers. We should not use it too often.
