keys for reference:

first aid is the first kind of help given to someone who suddenly falls ill or gets injured before a doctor can be found. often the illness or injury is not serious, but there are other times when giving first aid quickly will save one’s life.

⑵warming up by discussing

hi, every one. have you been in any of the emergency situations? did you or someone else give help then? if so, what kind of help? when you are involved in the emergency situations, what kind of first aid should you need or give? think it over, and then give us your answers.

keys: if the bite or scratch wound is bleeding, apply pressure to the area with a clean bandage or towel until the bleeding stops. if available, use clean latex or rubber gloves to protect yourself from exposure to blood.
