    Everyone makes mistakes.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Making a mistake at work, however, can be more serious.

Many people who are learning English want to know how to improve their reading skills. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The effective way to improve your reading skills is to love reading and practice more.

Reading is one of the most important language skills because we use it to expand our vocabulary and improve the way we speak, write and listen. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Seeing new ways to say things can help your understanding of English and improve not only your reading, but also your other language skills.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} If we do not understand something, we can go over it again and even look up the words we do not know the meanings of. This means that we have a much greater chance of understanding information that we read than information that we hear.

So how do we practice reading so that our skill level improves? When we read a passage, we need to understand it. We must understand what the important words mean in each sentence. This does not mean that we need to know the meaning of every word. In many cases, we can find out what words mean from the words around them. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} To do this, we must understand how words work together. In many cases, we must "see" part of the message that has not been written, or we must form an opinion ourselves.

Reading is an essential part of your study of the English language. It can help you understand and learn more. It can also become a satisfying hobby.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

A．Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this.

B．Unlike listening, reading allows us to take our time.

C．Among the four skills, listening is the most important one.

D．It is hoped that you will love reading and improve your reading skills.

E．When we read, we can see how things are said, from sentence structure to expression.

F．If we do not, we will not be able to understand what the entire article or story is about.

G．Once we understand what the words mean, we need to figure out what the message is.

First aid is a simple medical treatment that gives a person who suddenly becomes ill before a doctor can be found. It's believed that four hundred and eighty seconds after an accident can make a difference between life and death. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are some different situations where you can learn, how to give first aid.

Burns

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} It's the best to place burns under softly running water for about 10 minutes. Remember that don't use ice!

Nosebleed

Ask the person to lean forward and pinch the nose for five to six minutes. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If so, the blood may run into the mouth.

Dog Bites

Wash the bite with plenty of water at a comfortable temperature. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Then, go to see the doctor at once and follow their suggestions carefully.

Chocking (窒息)

Stand behind the chocking person put your arms around his body and lean him or her forward slowly. Press his or her stomach. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} You can also hit his back with your hand.
