Watch a short video about fire.

T: This year I saw a fire. This is the first time in my life I saw fire with my own eyes. And I kept it in my QQ zone. Please have a look. Can you guess my feeling at that time?

T: Yes, I was nervous and frightened. My heart was beating fast and my hands were shaking.  

Did I just stand aside and watch it burning? Of course not. I made some phone calls. At first I

called 120 for help. They told me they would go there quickly and they advised me to call 119. You know the difference between 120 and 119?

T: Yes, if a building is on fire, we should dial 119 for help. If someone is hurt, we should dial    120 for help. But at that time I was too nervous and I had mixed feelings about what phone to call  first. So you see when something unusual happens, the most important thing for us to do is to keep calm and then try to find a way out.

【设计意图】通过和学生讨论自己的亲身经历，让学生对我国一些特殊的电话号码有感性的认识，同时引导学生认识到保持冷静、以及伸出援手的重要性。

 

1. Help students to know some more important phone numbers

  T: Look. My friend asked me if I dialed 911 by mistake. What is 911 for? It is a number in the USA. If something bad happens, for example, you see someone fall into the river and you can dial 911 for help. But here, I think my friend is just playing a joke on me. There is only one emergency phone number in America to call for all emergencies, 911. But in China, we have 120 for hospital and 119 for fire.

  T: Do you know what are 120 and 122 used for? Now I think it’s easy for you to match the phone numbers with the right pictures.

2. Pair work

T: Can you say something or make a dialogue about each picture? Here is an example for you.

A: Look, the building is on fire!

B: Don’t worry about that. Let’s dial 119 for help.

3. Think and discuss 

(1) Watch some pictures and discuss

T: When we are in danger or we see someone in danger, we should choose the correct phone number to dial for help. If we take the right actions quickly, accidents may not cause too much damage. I think you know what to do during an earthquake. What about the following situations? Suppose we happen to be in a building on fire or in a flood. After dialing for help, should we just stay there and wait for help?

  (2) Watch a short video and discuss

     T: Do you think it’s safe to walk on railways? What may cause traffic accidents?

4. Listen and complete the notes

T: We are going to have a talk called “Away from danger”. It’s necessary for us to take some

notes. Let’s read the form and see if we know some before listening.

T: Here are some tips for listening.

5. Listen again and fill in the blanks in A3

6. Group work 

  T: You must have learnt a lot from the talk. You see, not all the classes attended the talk.

So it’s your job to tell some other classes about ways of keeping safe from danger.

Make dialogues about the talk and try to show others how to stay away from danger.

7. Think and judge

  (1) How to dial 110

T: 119 is for fire, 120 is for hospital and 122 is for traffic. But sometimes you may get  confused and you can’t think clearly when you are in a hurry. To make it easy, dialing 110 is the fastest way you can get help for yourself or someone else. Do you know how to dial 110 and when to dial 110?

  (2) Judge when to dial 110
