Step 1 Warm-up

Show them the picture and say: The snow covers all the things and we can play with our friends. But if there is too much snow, it will be a disaster, and there will be some accidents on the road.

Step 2 Presentation

Show a picture about a car accident to the students.

T: What can you see in the picture? (crash into). If there are some people in the car, they may hurt. So we call them “victims”. And we have to send them to the hospital, we can call what number?

Teach the students some useful phone numbers.

Present a picture.

T: what information can you get from the picture? (a snowstorm, crash into a tree, trapped in the car, 2 people)
