The Importance of First Aid

First aid is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly ill, including self-help and home care if medical help is not available or delayed. First aid knowledge means life or death during an emergency situation, so it is very important for everyone to learn first aid.

General Treatment to Burns

●Move the injured away from the heat.

●Check the breathing as well as the size and depth of burns.

●Wash the burnt area with water to reduce pain.

●Cover the wound with a sterilized (消毒的) dressing.

●For burns on the face, use sheet or something else to cover the burnt area.

Heatstroke

To avoid heatstroke, you should stop tiring activities in hot weather. If you still go outdoors, you should:

●wear light loose-fitting(宽松的)clothing;

●rest in a cool place as often as possible;

●drink boiled water or fruit juice;

●avoid drink such as milk, wine and beer.

First Aid training

Some people go through specific training in order to provide first aid in public or at home, or other places where people get together. People performing a first aid role are often expected to have a high level of first aid training and are often uniformed. There are some organizations giving first aid courses recognized by the local government, such as the Red Cross. For more information, you can call the Fire Services Ambulance Command Training School on 2640 3708.

Dear Linda,

I’m really glad to receive your letter. You said you were learning to cook. Is it interesting? I think if you want to keep healthy, food is very important. You’ll be in good health if you try different kinds of foods, especially vegetables and fruit. I eat them every day.

You asked me how to make a milk shake. There are many different kinds of milk shakes, such as apple milk shake, banana milk shake and carrot milk shake. Carrot milk shake is my favorite, because carrots and milk are both good for health. Before starting, we need a carrot, a glass of milk, some ice and two teaspoons of honey. Of course, you need a blender.

Now, let’s start. First, wash the carrot and cut it up. Next, put the carrot, the milk, some ice and two teaspoons of honey into the blender. Then turn on the blender. Keep it working for only one minute. Finally, pour the carrot shake in a glass and drink it. It’s delicious!

I want to learn how to make Chinese food, for example, dumplings. Could you teach me?

Write soon!

Yours,

Sally
