A FIRST AID QUIZ
The first aid teacher (T) is testing her
students’ knowledge of first aid. Listen to
her questions and her students’ answers.
T = teacher S = Sarah P =Peter
R = Rachel J =Jim G = Gary
Listening text
Part 1
T: We’ve looked at several first aid
treatments. Now let’s see just what
you can remember. OK. Let’s say
Lucy has a nosebleed. What should
she do … Sarah?
S: Sit down and bend forward slightly.
Squeeze her nose just below the
bridge until the bleeding stops.
T: Why should she lean forward?
P: So she gets the blood all over the
floor instead of on her clothes.
(everyone laughs)
T: Very funny, Peter. Rachel?
R: So the blood runs out of her nose
and not down her throat. If you
swallow blood you might be sick.
(everyone groans)
T: That’s right.
Part 2
T: OK, next situation. What should you
do if someone’s clothes are on fire? Jim?
J: Stop him from running around, as
that makes clothes burn faster. Tell
him to drop to the floor and cover him
up tightly with some thick cloth.
T: And then what?
J: Roll him along the ground until the
fire goes out. Then treat him for
burns.
T: Good.
Part 3
T: OK, what about this one? What if your
friend has got a piece of food caught in
his throat and he’s choking?
G: Nothing. But if he can’t cough, I’d
bend him forwards and give him four
quick hard slaps between his shoulder
blades with my hand.
T: Yes, that should do the trick.
Part 4
T: Now Peter, what if Ben badly sprained
his ankle playing football?
P: I’d get him to sit down and put some
ice on his ankle to reduce the
swelling. Then I’d tell him to put his
foot up on a chair. Then I’d bandage
his ankle up firmly.
T: Great. Now let’s talk about snake
bites. What if a snake bites you?
P: Bite it back! (everyone laughs)
T: Thank you, Peter. (said with amused
tolerance) Now the first thing to
remember is … (fading out)
