In our Life Skills lesson last week, our class had a visit from a Fire Safety Officer, and this is what he told us: `Today I`m going to tell you (1) what you should do in case of fire. If there is a fire, keep calm. Be sure you know (2) where you can find the nearest exit or stairway. Do not use the lift. Before you leave, close all the doors behind you. You should know (3) how you could activate the fire alarm, and then shout `fire`. You should know (4) what number you should call to report the fire and ask for help. In Viet Nam, it’s number 114. The number is toll-free and you can call it any time from either mobile or a landline without dealing area codes.`
