Read the following passage and answer the questions below.
A burn is an injury to the skin caused by exposure to fire, hot liquids or metals, chemicals, electricity or the sun’s ultraviolet rays. When someone gets a burn , it’s necessary to provide first - aid right away. First aid for burns involves removing the source of the burn as soon as possible. The burns should be cooled immediately with cold water. A clean, cold wet towel or dressing can be placed on less serious burns to ease pain and protect the burns from contaminating. If the burn is caused by chemicals, it should be bathed continuously with running water for at least 20 minutes to reduce the substance. Any powder should be carefully brushed off with gloved or protected hands before washing. Wet dressings should never be used for burns. Instead, the first - aid provider should gently apply dry, sterile dressing held in place by bandages and seek immediate medical attention.

English is very interesting. It is not difficult to learn English well. However, it is important to find the most effective way to learn the language. I rarely look up new words in the dictionary, but I often try to guess their meanings in the reading. At first, I found it a little difficult because I could hardly understand everything that I read. But gradually I could get the general idea of th reading or the main information the reading passage gave. I never use an English-Vietnamese dictionary, instead I used an English-English dictionary, and this helps me a lot. In this way, I can use the new vocabulary correctly and naturally. I also keep my diary, and write short stories in English to improve my writing skill. As for listening, I listen to music and news programs boardcast in English on TV and on the radio. It is an interesting way to pratice listening. Modern equipment can help a lot in listening. For example, I use an iPod to record the news so that I can listen to it again and then I record voice and correct myself. I've joined an English-speaking club to better my speaking. I can make myself well understood when I speak to native speakers. I think in the future everybody in Vietnam can communicate with each other well in English.
