Why is first aid important in our daily life?
Because seconds count in an emergency, and knowing what to do can mean the difference between life and death.
What’s the most important thing to remember when dealing with an emergency?
To stay calm and not to be panic.
What do the letters “DR ABC” stand for?
“D” stands for “Danger”;
“R” stands for “Response” ;
“A” stands for “Airway” ;
“B” stands for “Breathing” ;
“C” stands for “Circulation”.
To give first aid correctly, you can use the letters “DR ABC” to help you remember the things you need to do.
How do we do the first aid correctly?
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.

I like pop music but most of my friends like rock and roll. In addition, Liu Mei likes rap. How are we to decide what to play? Do you suggest that we play all of these types of music? Or should we only play one kind of them? How did you and your friends decide what to play?
We hope you can give us some advice.
