Trong bài học kĩ năng sống của chúng ta vào tuần trước, lớp chúng ta đã có một chuyến thăm một cảnh sát phòng cháy và đây là những gì anh ấy bảo chúng ta: "Hôm nay tôi sẽ nói với các bạn những gì các bạn nên làm trong trường hợp hỏa hoạn. Nếu có một vụ cháy, hãy bình tĩnh. Hãy đảm bảo rằng bạn biết bạn có thể tìm được lối thoát hoặc cầu thang bộ gần nhất ở đâu. Không nên sử dụng thang máy. Trước khi rời khỏi, hãy đóng tất cả các cánh cửa phía sau bạn. Bạn nên biết làm thế nào để kích hoạt báo cháy và la lên "cháy". Bạn nên biết số điện thoại nào cần gọi để thông báo cho đội cứu hỏa và kêu cứu. Ở Việt Nam là 114. Số điện thoại này miễn phí và bạn có thể gọi bất cứ lúc nào từ số di động hoặc số bàn mà không cần bấm mã vùng.

• Today I'm going to tell you what to do in case of fire.
• Be sure you know where to find the nearest exit or stairway.
• You should know how to activate the fire alarm.
• You should know what number to call to report the fire and ask for help.
