Homework
• 1.Write a short description of an
accident and how to deal with the
injuries in the accident.
2.Retell the story in your own words.
PS: Some knowledge about first aid
• When you give first aid, you must pay attention to
three things.
• First, if he stops breathing, open his mouth and see
if there is food in his throat.
• Second, if a person can’t breathe, try your best to
start his breathing, using a mouth-to-mouth way.
• Third, if a person is bleeding very heavily, try at
once to stop the bleeding. Then take him to the
hospital. If a person loses one third of his blood, he
may die.
Every body should know some first aid knowledge
in order to save people’s lives.
