My Experience of carrying out First Aid

At first, my sister’s pain is hard to tolerate. Luckily , it’s not a serious accident and I provided some short-time treatment immediately. Squeezing out the cold water, I placed the wet cloth over her hand to cool the burnt area for many times. At last I covered her burned area with a bandage and hold it in the correct position with tape. Fortunately, she felt much better after my first aid!

When Jane was recovered, she attended a first aid course. Because she was interested in first aid, Jane went to the school library to search for books in this field. She has read two books of them. The first book she read was more useful than the second book that she read. The teacher said she could renew the books if she wanted to renew them. Jane went over all the knowledge in the course before the exam while her friends didn’t go over the knowledge in the course. To everyone’s delight, she did better in her first aid exam than she was expected to do.
