Activity 3
What do Alicia and Johanna discuss
about driving safely in the winter?

Alicia
It is so cold outside!
I know. It is absolutely frigid.
This weather can be very dangerous you know.
I know. Did you get a chance to read the article about how to be safe in the winter?
No, but can you tell me about it?
Sure. In a nutshell, it discussed hypothermia and frostbite. Both of these
conditions are severe and can lead to amputation or even death!
No. They are similar, but there are some differences. Frostbite is caused by one
our limbs becoming frozen. If the frostbite is severe enough, the affected body
part may have to be amputated.
Frostbite and hypothermia are the same condition. Are they not?
No Kidding! Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature drops too low.
This can lead to death?

32. Listen to a dialogue:
Johanna
Alicia

Johanna
Yes. Hypothermia can lead to death.
I love winter, but I can see we must be mindful of the dangers of bitterly cold
weather.
Right. The article stressed the importance of keeping dry while outside. Keeping
dry will go a long way towards keeping us comfortable and safe in winter.
That makes sense. The other day I went for a walk in very deep snow and my feet
got soaked. My feet felt numb and my whole body felt chilled.
Now another consideration is the wind chill. This simply means that a windy day
in the winter will usually feel considerably cold than a calm day.
I know that a windy day can make -10c feel bitterly cold.
You really need to read the article. I’m going to quickly run home quickly and get it
for you.
Thanks a lot!
No prob! I’ll be right back.

Keeping an emergency kit in the trunk of your car could
save your life. Update it from time to time to be sure you
have the equipment you need in case of an emergency.

Winter can be dangerous if proper care is not taken. If the
weather is very bad stay at home if possible. If you
