题目内容
Duncan Smith and Katie Schmidt both always wanted to be firefighters. Now, the two 16-year-olds have started their training at Wellington High School Fire Science Academy in the US.
At the Fire Science Academy, students learn how fire behaves, how to use firefighting tools, how to save people, and of course, how to put out a fire.
The academy recently received a fire truck that will help students become familiar with the trucks used by real firefighters, according to Mark Davis, a teacher at the academy.
“It’s an important part of the program,” Davis said. “It allows our students to understand the everyday tools used in the fire service. It also gives them a sense of pride to enter into public service.” The fire truck will also help students practice before taking the state firefighter test, Davis said.
Schmidt said she was interested in the opportunities the academy presented.“It was my decision to go into this program,” she said. “My dad has been in this service for almost 25 years and I wanted to follow in his footsteps and learn and understand what he goes through in his day-to-day life.”
“The academy is strict and students have to be comfortable with standing to attention for most of the day,” Davis said. “I like the discipline(纪律) aspect because I feel like a lot of high school students sometimes go the wrong way, and with this, it’s not possible,” Schmidt said.
