If a person has stopped breathing after falling into the water, we’d better press a hand on his chest many times, and then use the mouth- to- mouth method to start the person’s breathing again Learn how to swim.Never swim alone. Don’t swim in dangerous waters.

Call for a doctor or an ambulance Never remove the sufferer/victim If the victim is bleeding seriously, you should try to stop his or her bleeding. Follow the traffic rules and be careful when crossing the street. Never use a cell phone while you are driving, riding a bike or walking on a busy street.Never run in traffic.

If someone is badly burnt,we should call 120 to ask for an ambulance. Never play with fire. Be careful with gas. Make sure that all the electric wires are safe.

If someone has been burnt slightly,we should ask the injured person to wash the injured part under the tap and then cover it with a loose clean bandage.

We’d better try to stop the blood from bleeding. The same is true for cuts. If somebody is badly injured, we should not remove it until we get a doctor. If the wound is not serious, we can cover it with a loose clean bandage.

If the cut is not serious, we can wash the area of cut,dry it and cover it with a piece of dry and clean cloth.

If a person is choking,you should wrap your arms around the person’s waist, and then press into the upper waist with a quick push upwards

To prevent choking,don’t eat too fast and don’t forget to chew your food. Don’t talk or laugh while having food in the mouth.
