We are always hearing about road accidents, and when we are in the car we try to drive carefully. But, how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? A large
36
will tell you the number of accidents that happened in the home is almost the same as those on the
37 .
I don’t pretend to be
38
, but I’ve thought a lot about how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to
39
them.
One of the most common and most dangerous
40
at home accidents is wrong and careless use
41
electrical equipment. People will continue to use a loose plug or
42
out a plug without first turning off the
43
. In spite of warning, one
44
carry an electric heater into the bathroom when he is going to have a
45
. Sometimes one forgets to turn off the power
46
mending a lamp or something
47 . All this can cause accidents. So the
48
about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you
49
anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually
50.
If you’ve got
51
in the house, it’s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their
52
. otherwise, they may be taken for candies or new kinds of drinks. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular
53
in a number of ways in order to make them
54 and happy.
55
, of course, is always a risk. So, remember to turn it off after cooking. Also, don’t forget to keep the children away from the cooker.
Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.

the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, “I could see that nearly all the passengers were

nothing. She was reading a book and,
51
within her small world was calm and orderly.”
