Question VII. Read the texts carefully, and then decide whether the statements are true (T), false (F), or not mentioned (NM). A. Put it on bread, not a burn My friend, Tom, had a little accident at home the other day. He was making a cup of tea when he spilt some boiling water on his arm. He didn’t know what to do. He went to the fridge and found some butter. He put this on the bum. It was the wrong thing to do. The butter made the bum worse. You should put a bum under cold water. B. Wrong to go out My cousin, Karen, had the flu. She felt very hot. At first, she stayed in bed, but opened her bedroom windows. She didn’t feel better, so she got up and went for a walk. She didn’t wear a coat or a scarf. She felt good at first in the cold air, but when she got home, she was really ill. Her temperature went up to over 40°C. Her mum phoned the doctor. The doctor told her to stay in bed for a week. C. Always clean the cut My brother, Mick, fell and cut himself on an old broken bottle in the local park. It wasn’t a big cut. He tied a handkerchief round his leg and then played football with his friends. When he came home, he put a plaster on it. He didn’t wash it or put any antiseptic cream on it. He took the plaster off the next day. His leg looked horrible. Mum took him to the doctor. The doctor cleaned the cut and put a bandage on Mick’s leg. Now he can’t play sports for a month. 1.
