Hello! Great to see you, dear viewer.
Safety is a very important thing and we often discuss our concerns about it with our friends and family.
We can get some good advice on what we should do to ensure our safety, when we discuss the subject with others.
So let’s listen to some conversations which show you how you can talk about safety concerns.
Don’t forget to practice the lines by pausing the lesson and repeating the dialog anywhere you want!
It will help you build up your English fluency.
Also check out the vocabulary section at the end to increase your vocabulary.
So let’s get started!!
I don't know what’s happening to the world?
What happened? Why do you look so upset?
Crimes are increasing every day! What’s wrong with people?
So many people live in adverse circumstances. Some people are not left with much choice.
Is that it?
Also, sometimes lack of good parenting leads to crimes.
I guess, people are just not ready to accept what they have
and the greed to have more leads them to illegal activities, even murder.
You know what I think? Our society should take a stand against every crime. Then things would improve!
Wait! I have to go back upstairs.
Why? We’re already behind schedule.
I have to check the terrace gate.
What’s the matter?
Maybe I forgot to lock it.
No, you didn’t. I locked it myself before coming down.
Are you sure?
Yes. I'm sure.
I just want to make sure the kids are safe when we aren’t around.
Don’t worry. I’ve checked everything. You’re just being over concerned.
Is this fire alarm system enough to protect the school premises from fire?
Yes, it is. These fire alarms have been installed in every wing of the school.
As soon as they ring, the water sprinklers will start automatically.
Are there any safe exit points for students?
Yes. They’ll be directed to move to the north parking lot.
Alright. Are the students being trained to know what to do when the alarm goes off?
Absolutely! Every semester we conduct fire drills so the students know what to do in case of a fire.
That’s good!
What are you watching?
Our mayor’s statement on the crime rate in our state.
What does he have to say about it?
He says the crime rate has substantially reduced in the last couple of years.
Really? Two crimes in one night two blocks away, and he says the crime rate is improving?
Maybe he’s talking about his own neighborhood.
Harmful or unpleasant situations, against your well-being.
If you grow up without enough food, you grew up in adverse circumstances.
When you have to do something you don’t want to do,
with no other option, you say you are not left with much choice.
Bringing up children is called parenting.
There’s good parenting, and there’s not-so-good parenting.
Sometimes parenting is fun, and sometimes it’s not at all fun.
Late and not ready by the planned time.
Dinner might be behind schedule because you were late getting home,
and the trains might be behind schedule because of an accident or weather.
The boundaries of the school property, including the building itself and the land around it.
During the school day, you must stay on the school premises.
A fire drill is an exercise whose objective is to train people for emergencies.
Its objective is to make sure people will know how to get out of a building quickly and safely in case of a fire.
Very much or to great extent.
Examples: The price of gasoline has increased substantially.
I weigh substantially more than I did in high school!
