    If fire happens, do not attempt to fight the fire unless it is small. Try putting out a small fire with water. If {#blank#}5{#/blank#} fire has spread or if the flames are more than 20 inches high, shut the door on it. Warn everyone else in the building and tell them to get out. You should leave and dial 911 for the fire department.

    Before {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go)into a room，check the door. If the handle or the door is hot, do not open it! Instead, put clothing or a wet towel at the bottom of it to keep smoke out. If the door is not hot, open it  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (slow)．If there is a rush of smoke heat, close it again and shout to warn {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (other)inside.

If you are not on ground level, break your fall by pushing a mat out first. Lower yourself at arm's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (long) before dropping. Once outside, stay out outside and make sure the fire department is called.

    Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (improve) our English writing ability. Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take)less time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} we keep practicing, gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (certain) run up against many {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (difficult). In the first place, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} often happens that we have trouble {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (find) suitable words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly.

    As far as I am concerned, my {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (suggest) is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn {#blank#}9{#/blank#} our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} development of our writing skills.
