Question

Work in groups. Discuss the questions.

Answer

  • The first sounds really painful because it involves loss of teeth and a broken wrist. The second and third involve blows to the head, which could be more serious.
  • The first and second are perhaps most avoidable. The first and second involve blame on the part of the person who got injured. In the first, he shouldn’t have been climbing over a wall. In the second, he had been to a party and wasn’t concentrating.
  • Responses could include giving first aid, calling an ambulance, fainting with shock at the sight of blood, and panicking.
