Elementary‐Global View‐LearningAboutFirst Aid
(C0199)
A: Hey Joe! Where have you been these past few days?
B: I’ve been busy with a first aid course that I started
about a week ago at the Red Cross.
A: Cool! I’ve always wanted to do something like that!
Have you learned anything useful?
B: For sure! I mean we’ve learned how to apply pressure
to stop bleeding, how to check for a pulse, and even how
to apply CPR!
A: Have you treated any real emergencies?
B: Well, they took us along with some paramedics. There
was this guy who fell off his motorcycle and suffered a
concussion as well as a couple of compound fractures. His
wounds were pretty serious so they had to rush him to the
hospital. It was intense!
A: I can imagine! I tend to faint when I see blood, so I
think I won’t be taking up a course like that anytime soon!
Elementary ‐Daily Life ‐ Junk Food (C0200)
A: I’m hungry, let’s grab a bite to eat.
B: Sure! How about we go home and prepare a couple of
sandwiches?
A: Nah! Let’s go get a burger and fries.
B: All you ever do is have unhealthy fast food Pizza, fries,
burgers and hot dogs! You have to start eating better!
A: What are you talking about? I have salads sometimes.
B: Yeah right! I’m serious! You should also cut down on
your sugar intake as well. You drink carbonated drinks that
are high in fructose syrup! It’s really not healthy!
A: Fine! I’ll start drinking and having home cooked meals
that are low in fat. Are you happy now?
B: It’s a start, but I’ll be happy when I see you stick to
your promise!
