A：Alright class, now that we’re all dressed up let’s see what professions you chose. Ah, I see a fireman, a police officer, a medic, and a lifeguard! Can anyone tell me what these people have in common?

好了，同學們，現在我們都已經化妝了，來看看你們都選了什么職業。我看見有消防員，警察，醫生和保鏢。誰能告訴我這些職業有什么共性嗎?

B：They save people from bad things?

他們都將人們從困境中救出來?

A：That’s right! Now class, if something bad happened and you had to get help, do you know what phone number you would call?

對。同學們，如果你碰到了麻煩必須求救，你們知道要撥打什么號碼嗎?

C：911!

打911.

A：Yes, you would pick up the phone and dial 911. What are some emergency situations where you would need to dial 911?

對，你們需要撥打911.發生那些緊急狀況你需要撥打911?

匪徒到家里搶劫。

C：If the fire alarm goes off!

如果我家的火災警鈴響起，我不會打911。唯一一次火災警鈴響起是在我們晚餐吃意大利面條時，媽媽又像往常一樣將蒜蓉面包烤糊了。
