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，同学们，既然大家都穿好了，来看看你们选了哪些职业。啊，我看到了消防员、警察、医护人员和救生员！谁能告诉我这些人有什么共同点？

That’s right! Now class, if something bad happened and you had to get help, do you know what phone number you would call?
说得对！同学们，如果发生了不好的事需要求助，你们知道该打哪个电话号码吗？

Yes, you would pick up the phone and dial 911. What are some emergency situations where you would need to dial 911?
是的，你会拿起电话拨打911。哪些紧急情况需要打911呢？

Pff! I wouldn’t call 911 if the fire alarm went off in my house. The only time that ever happens is when we’re having spaghetti for supper, and Mom burns the garlic bread, as usual.
切！我才不会因为火警响了就打911呢。我家火警响的唯一时候就是吃意大利面晚餐，然后妈妈像往常一样把蒜香面包烤焦了。
