Unit 2 In England you usually drink tea with milk.

My experiences in England. I went to England last year. I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.For example, you must say

Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each ot her better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.

One day we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is n ot just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit c ake.

In England you usually drink tea with milk.So I tried to drink tea with milk too. Fish and chips is the traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fi sh and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your finge rs. It is delicious!

At the bus stop you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line behind the other people and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get o n the bus.

Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say, “Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus?” He was really polite.

Module 12 Help

Unit1 What should we do before help arrives?

Ms James: This mornings class is about first aid, or giving someone basic medical help. Let’s imagine an accident. A boy is lying at the bottom of the stairs. He isn’t moving or making a sound. He is in pain. What can we do to help him?

Betty: First of all, find out what’s wrong with him.

Ms James: How do we do that?

Betty: Ask him.

Ms James: Ok. But he could have trouble hearing you or speaking to you.

Lingling: Shout for help? Call 120?

Ms James: Good idea, but what should we do before help arrives?

Tony: Make him comfortable.

Ms James: And how can we do that?

Tony: Lift him up and sit him on a chair?

Ms James: No, that could be harmful! You could drop him and hurt him even more. B etty, you must know! You did some basic medical training.

Betty: Make sure he’s warm. Cover him with a coat.

Ms James: That’s such good advice that you could be a doctor, Betty!

Unit 2 Stay away from windows and heavy furniture.

What to do in an earthquake

Earthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about them. Usually people have little or no idea about what to do during an earthquake, so here is some advice. Inside Do not jump out of high buildings. Hide under a table. Stay awa y from windows and heavy furniture. Keep clear of fires. Leave the building quickly when the ground stops shaking, but do not use the lift.Keep calm, especially when yo u are with other people. Be brave and be helpful.

Outside Move away from buildings, because parts of a building may fall on you. Do not stand near street lights or under power lines. Stay away from bridges and tree s. If you are in a bus or car, stay in it.In the mountains, be careful of falling rocks.On a beach, run away from the sea and move quickly to higher ground.

In short, follow what you learnt in school. You can be safe and you can also help save others
