2. Look at the pictures together and ask students what has happened in each one.
3. Put the class into groups of three or four and ask them to answer the rest of the questions about the pictures.
4. Bring the class together and ask students what kind of first aid you should give in each situation. This should stimulate some interesting discussion as there might be some disagreement about first aid treatments. Step Two
1. Ask students what has happened in the picture. (Answer: The child has pulled boiling water onto herself.) Ask students what sort of injuries the child will have. (Answer: She will have bad burns.) Ask the class what first aid treatment they would give in this situation. Don’t tell students whether they are right or wrong at this stage as they will find out from the reading text. Write all their suggestions on the board.
2. Ask students to answer the questions about their own experiences in groups.
Bring the class together and ask various students about their or someone else’s experiences.

4) Explain to students that most good readers survey texts in this way
before they start to read the text in detail. If you survey a text, it makes it easier to understand it because you already know something about the content and the organization.
5) Set Exercise 1 in Comprehending. This shouldn’t take students long as
they have already looked at the organization of the topics.
2. Second reading
1) Ask students to read the text with a partner and to underline any words
they are not sure about. Tell them to guess the meaning of these words. 2) As a class, ask students to tell you what words they are still unsure
about. Write them on the board. Ask the rest of students to guess the meaning. If no one can give the correct meaning, ask them to look up the dictionary or tell them the meaning.
3) Read Exercise 2 with the students. Tell them that they do not have to
read the whole text to find the information. Ask them to tell you which part of the text they need to look at( Answer: the section under the heading Characteristics of burns).
4) At this stage, you could get students to compare the lists you wrote on
the board in Pre-listening with the information in the text.
3. Third reading
Put students into pairs for Exercises 3& 4.
1) Read Exercise 3 with the class. Make sure they understand the four
situations Ask them which sections of the text will give them the
