t：do you see the woman? she’s not so lucky.i think she is hurl badly.maybe her leg is broken.what can we do to help her?
s：i think we should call for a doctor or an ambulance.
t：yes，i think you’re right.but before the doctor comes, what can we do to help her? do you think we should pull her out of the car?
s：no，i don’t think that’s correct.because we may make her even more hurt.i think we should find enough people to lift the car safely and take the woman to hospital at once.
t：i agree with you.so do remember to be careful when you’re riding your bike.ok.now，please turn to page 57 and look at the pictures in warming up.have a discussion in pairs to find out what you should do in these situations and what we could do to prevent these accidents.
  (give the students a moment to prepare and then ask some pairs to report their results.)
suggested answers：

i think if we see someone drowning，we should first check to see if he/she is breathing.if not, we must try to start his/her breathing.if this is not done within five minutes，the person may die.
to prevent such an accident，we should nor go swimming alone or go swimming in unsafe places.

when we see a house on fire and someone is burnt，we should call  119  first and tell them the exact address on the phone.and we should also call 120 to ask for an ambulance to help.if the person is badly burnt, or if a child has been burnt，we should do nothing but wait for the doctor.if the person is not badly burnt, we can cool the area of skin under the cold tap for several minutes and then put a piece of dry clean cloth over the area of burn. to prevent this, we should not play with fire, be careful with gas and make sure that all the electric wires are safe.

if someone is bleeding badly, we must try to stop the bleeding first. if a person loses one third of his/her blood, he/she may die. we can press a handkerchief onto the bleeding point and hold it there. if possible, hold up the part of body which is bleeding. we must be very careful what ever we do.

if a person is cut, we can wash the area of the cut, dry it and cover it with a piece of dry clean cloth. but if the person is badly cut, we should wait for the doctor. when we're working, we must pay more attention to safety.
picture 6
if a person chokes, what we should do is to make him/her spit by patting him/her on the back. to avoid this, you shouldn't talk or laugh when eating.
