Hi Mark,
I’m sorry for not writing to you recently. I’ve been having some terrible problems with my
back recently. At first, it only hurt at the bottom, and it was only a small pain. But now the whole
of my back is in pain. It hurts as soon as I get out of bed each morning. I’m finding it hard to walk
and I cannot play football any more. It’s been like this for almost a month now. The treatments
that I get don’t work very well.
I’ll let you know when I get better.
Your friend,
John

One day, I was having lunch in the park with my grandparents, my sister and her one-year-
old daughter Rose. Rose was sitting on my sister’s knees and eating. My sister was watching her
carefully because her teeth just started to grow. Then my sister’s phone started to ring. She left
Rose with my grandparents so she could focus on the call. I did not think anything about this and
started to play a game on my phone.
Suddenly I heard Rose coughing. I looked up and found that Rose was breathing difficultly.
My grandparents were standing up and looking confused. “We just gave her one nut,” my
grandfather said.
Immediately I ran to get my sister. She has had first-aid training and knew just what to do.
She used the Heimlich manoeuvre (海姆利克氏急救法) which pushed the nut out of Rose’s throat
so she could breathe again. Accidents happen quickly and can cost a loved one’s life if you do not
know how to respond. After that scary day, I decided to take first-aid classes. My training has
helped me save a life too.
One morning, my father was up a ladder painting our house. I heard a loud noise and rushed
outside. He was lying on the ground. He must have hit his head because his eyes were closed. I
was scared but knew what to do. I moved his body into the recovery position, put a blanket over
him and called an ambulance. If you get knocked out, your brain cannot help you breathe or stay
warm. The fall could have caused some bleeding so the recovery position helps keep the throat
clear. The ambulance men said I had done the right thing.
I think everyone should have first-aid training.
