Home Safely
In the United States there’s a burglary almost every fifteen seconds, especially during the day when people aren’t at home. But don’t be afraid. There are a lot of things you can do to protect your house from burglars.
First of all, you shouldn’t let people you don’t know into your home. You should always look through the peephole before you open the door. It’s also a bad idea to leave money, jewellery or keys next to windows. Always lock all doors and windows when you leave the house, and if possible, install an alarm system and check it often to make sure it works properly.
Another way to protect your home is to make it look busy all the time. Leave the radio on when you are away and fit dusk-to-dawn lights in the garden. That way, anyone watching the house will think that someone is there.
Finally, join a Neighbourhood Watch programme and call the police the moment you see something unusual in your neighbourhood. And remember: never put up a fight with a burglar. Just hand over your valuables and then call the police. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
e.g. Nowadays, burglaries happen very often. T
1. There are about fifteen burglaries every day. ...........
2. Most burglaries happen in the daytime. ...........
3. There’s not much we can do to protect our homes. ...........
4. Never open the door before looking through the peephole. ...........
5. You shouldn’t leave your valuables close to windows. ...........
6. You don’t need to test your alarm system. ...........
7. Don’t leave radios on when you’re not home. ...........
8. Dusk-to dawn lights will make people think you’re home. ...........
9. If you see someone break into a house, call a Neighbourhood Watch programme. ...........
10. If a burglar breaks into your home, don’t fight back. ...........

Fire Safety
Fires that happen in the home are a very serious problem today. In America, there are over 100,000 home fires every year and many start in the kitchen. There are a lot of things you can do to protect your house from fire.
First of all, you need to follow a few safety rules. You should never leave the kitchen while you are cooking. It’s also a bad idea to wear loose clothes when you cook. Always keep the cooking area clean and don’t let children come very close to the cooker.
It is also important to know what to do if a fire starts. If a pan catches fire, don’t throw water on it! Put a blanket over it and turn off the heat. If the fire doesn’t go out, call the fire brigade. If a fire starts inside the oven, keep the door shut and turn it off. If you burn yourself, run cold water over the burn.
Finally, install a smoke alarm and learn how to use it. Also, know the number of your fire brigade by heart. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
e.g. Nowadays, fires in the home aren’t very dangerous. F
1. In America, there are more than 100,000 home fires a year. ...........
