Safety first
Every year one out in of five children in Britain is injured in an accident serious enough to need hospital treatment. Falls are the commonest cause of injury, other dangers are be cuts, burns and poisoning. Of course, children also get hurt outside of the home, especially while they playing near or walking across the road. Children will always be prone to bumps and bruises, but most injuries are preventable if the simple, sensible safety measures are followed. For an example, a safety gate be fitted at the top of the stairs will help prevent falls. To avoid the possibility of children get poisoning themselves, all tablets should be locked up out of the reach. It should also be remembered that many house plants are poisonous. Children are naturally curious for and unaware of danger, so that never leave children in the kitchen being alone, and keep hot irons away from them until they will cool properly. Follow these guidelines and your home will be a more safe for your kids to grow up.

Exercise 5. Read the text below and look carefully at each line. Some of the lines are correct, and some have a word which should not be there. Tick the correct line and write the wrong word next to the number.
I've been trying to get fit for years but when it has been impossible to find a method that has not ended in disaster. Two years ago I have started going to karate classes. On the second day I broke my arm. When I had recovered it from that, I took up swimming. At first I really enjoyed myself racing my friend up and down the pool. But I regret to say that it wasn't long before I slipped over on the pool side and cracked away my head on the tiles. I needed to go to hospital to make my head stop of bleeding. A few months later a friend advised me to try on aerobics. That didn't last long either, because I hate listening to loud disco music. Then last month I bought a bicycle. I had always loved cycling ever since I was not a child. I really regret buying that bike, though. At this very moment, I am lying in the hospital with two broken legs. I have decided to give up trying to get fit. From now and on, I'm going to concentrate on staying alive. |
