1) From Text A, we have learned something about medical emergencies. Now let’s learn what to say when one occurs. Read each expression out loud one by one.

—  Don’t move him. Keep him still.

—  Get a first-aid kit.

—  Get the paramedics.

—  Is there a doctor here?

—  Does anyone know CPR?

—  We have to stop the flow of blood.

—  Get some blankets(毯子).

—  Call an ambulance(救护车). 

—  We need some bandages(绷带).

—  Can anyone help stop the bleeding(出血)?

2) Play the roles of Leslie and John inthe following dialogue after reading it out loud, paying attention to the underlined expressions.

Leslie:What happened? Are you going to be OK? 

John:I fell off a bike. 

Leslie:Oh, there’s a deep cut in your arm. It’s bleeding quite a lot. We’d better stop the flow of blood.

John:I don’t have anything with me. 

John:Let’s get some help. (Turning to bystanders) Can anyone help stop the bleeding? Does anyone have a clean towel or something?

Leslie:We need some bandages.

John:Shall I call an ambulance?

Leslie:C’mon, Leslie, it’s not that bad! I can walk to the nearby hospital for further medical care. I’m not about to die!

*Tell the class how important to remain calm in a medical emergency. The following serves as an example.

Topic: Remaining Calm in a Medical Emergency

A medical emergency occurs on its own, outside anyone’s expectation.  It’s important to remain calm until the ambulance arrives. The worst thing you can do in any emergency medical situation is panic. Your panic can make things even worse.

Even though you may not know anything about first aid, you can still ask for help. So, for  the sake of  the victim, remain calm, cool and collected(镇定的).  In this way you can help the first-aid to be more effective and efficient.

Actually, the best thing you can do is to learn now how to deal with an emergency. The more you know now, the more likely you will remain calm later, when an emergency actually arrives.
