   (give the students a few minutes to prepare and then ask one or two students to say their answers.)
suggested answer:
     to give first aid correctly, you can use the letters "dr abc" to help you remember the things you need to do. first we should make sure that the accident scene is no longer dangerous. then we can ask the person simple questions to see if he/she is conscious and can breathe. we must make sure the person's airway is open and it's easy to breathe by gently tipping the person's head back slightly. if the person is not breathing, we must try to start his/her breathing at once within five minutes, or he/she may die. at last, we can look for colour, coughing and eye movement to see if the person's blood is circulating. we can also put a finger on the person's wrist or neck to check his/ her pulse. if the person is bleeding, we should cover the wound with a clean piece of cloth and press on the wound to stop the bleeding.
