You know, having a dangerous medical situation will happen during all of our lives. What I want to talk about is how to stop a bleeding nose.

The first step is to have the person sit quietly while you perform the steps of stopping the bleeding nose. Soft paper can be placed into the two holes at the end of your nose that is bleeding. Make sure that you don't place too much soft paper in, as you may not feel comfortable when you move the soft paper away from the holes in the nose.

Then hold your nose together between your thumb and finger at the cartilage(软骨)area where the bridge of the nose is hard. That will make less blood move to the holes in the nose. After five minutes to twenty minutes, the nosebleed should come to a stop. After the nosebleed stops, the soft paper can be moved away. Another way that commonly works is to place a piece of ice under the lip between the gum(牙龈)and the lip, as this will reduce the size of the blood vessels(血管)leading to the nose. If it is too late to take any action, the head should be raised where blood can be moved from the hole in the nose to the stomach area.

I'm Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and come to see me if you are in trouble with healthy problems.

Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife, "I’m going to fly to New York next week because I’ve got some work there." "Where are you going to stay there?" his wife asked. "I don’t know yet." Dick answered. "Please send me your address from there in a telegram (电报)," his wife said. "All right," Dick answered.

He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.

In the evening he didn’t have any work, so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine o’clock and said, "Now I’m going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner."

He found a taxi (出租车) and the driver said, "Where do you want to go?" But Dick didn’t remember the name and address of his hotel.

"Which hotel are my things in?" he said, "And what am I going to do tonight?" But the driver of the taxi did not know. So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram, and in it he wrote, "Please send me my address at this post office."
