This document provides an online English lesson about asking for and giving information in emergency road accident situations. The lesson includes warmup activities to practice vocabulary related to road accidents. Students then role-play conversations where one student takes on the role of a police officer questioning an eyewitness to a road accident. They ask questions to gather details of what occurred. Finally, students discuss their own experiences with road accidents or other emergencies and ask follow-up questions of their partner. The lesson aims to help students feel more prepared to communicate effectively in real emergency situations.
