Yes, it is necessary for students to take first aid
courses because nobody can foresee what will happen.
Only if we take the courses can we save the lives when
accidents happen. /No, I consider it to be unnecessary.
In my opinion, it is convenient to see a doctor
nowadays even if there is an accident. What’s more, we
can’t spare time to take first aid courses with such
heavy study burden on us.
