- 1. ENGLISH STUDENT LEARNING UNIT 7 Accidents and Safety
- 2. STUDENT LEARNING UNIT 7 1 Before we start……... You've worked on six SLUs so far. We hope you have enjoyed them and are looking forward to working on another one. This SLU is based on a theme that is important for all of us, 'Accidents and Safety: There are so many stories about accidents that people tell you, or you see on TV or read about in newspapers, that sometimes you wonder, 'Could they have been prevented?' We can't prevent all accidents but if we are more careful and safety conscious may be we can reduce their number and keep ourselves safe. The activities in this SLU may help you think about ways in which you can protect yourself and others from harm. @ûe¸ Keòaû @ûMeê. . . . . . . . .

Drive as if every child on the street were you own! Look every way every day! When you have an accident, who cries the most? Your family, your friends or you? Drive like hell and you will be there!

In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole. I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows. I thought my window was down; but I found it was up when I put my hand through it. That's why I couldn't indicate which side I was turning. No one was to blame for the accident, but it never would have happened if the other driver had been alert. Can you think of some more funny explanations that drivers may give? Write them here. Activity - 4: Traffic Signals Often we don't bother to read the signs on the road. This can be dangerous. Do you know what these road signs mean? Write their meanings in the space below each sign. Have you noticed any other signs on the road? Draw the signs and share them with your class. (One has been done for you.)

Activity - 4: Safety Measures We should be very careful when handling electricity, gas and sharp objects. Here are some safety tips you must follow when using electrical appliances. Don't insert bare wires directly into a socket but use a plug with pins. Don't change fused bulbs when the switch is on. Don't touch an electric switch or appliance when your hands are wet. Don't buy sub-standard electrical fittings to save money as this may result in serious accidents. Turn off all electrical appliances such as fans and lights when leaving your home. Don't use electrical appliances with damaged cords or cracked or broken plugs. Turn off power points before plugging/unplugging appliances. Can you make a list of safety measures to be kept in mind when dealing with gas, sharp objects and fire.

- 9. STUDENT LEARNING UNIT 7 8 Flood, ……………………………………………….. Six percent of accidents happen because of 'natural causes'. Can you list out some natural causes? Activity- 6: A lucky escape This is a true story about a boy who fell into a bore-well but, with great luck, was able to escape. A three-year-old boy fell into a 520-feet deep bore-well in the Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu. Police say that Guna, a farmer's son, did not fall all the way to the bottom of the bore-well. He was trapped at 20 feet, but it took them over five hours to pull him out. 'The Police and Rescue Department Officials dug a parallel pit to rescue him,' explained Superintendent of Police, M Ashok Kumar. Guna fell into the newly sunk bore-well at 10 am. The bore-well was in their own property and he fell into it while playing with his brother. Their mother was washing nearby when the accident happened. The bore-well was sunk just three days ago but they did not find any water. The family had decided to give up digging any further. They had removed the pipe but had not filled the bore- well with mud. Have you ever had any experience of a miraculous escape? Or have you heard any such stories in your area? Have you read stories of escapes like this one? Narrate these stories to your friends. Then try to write them in your notebook.
