6 . Welcome to our free resources for first aid (急救)

First-aid education has been included in the health curriculum for schools in England. Now, more children and young people will acquire the skills they need to save a life.

To celebrate the change, we’re launching a brand-new teaching website. It’s aimed at all schools in the UK.

We understand that, for some people, teaching first aid can be quite frightening — especially if you’ve never done it before. So, we’ve designed these free resources to help you confidently deliver lessons in line with the new curriculum.

Here’s how:

●Each first-aid skill focuses on one key action.

●The teaching resources provide you with all the guidance you need.

●The resources have easy-to-follow lesson plans that save you time in preparing for your classes.

This new interactive (互动的) learning website will include:

●a multimedia library with supporting materials you need for each lesson

●different learning activities for those aged 5-18

●a full curriculum mapping for the new requirements in England

How will it benefit learners?

Through all kinds of practical activities, learners will:

●have skills, confidence and willingness to act when someone needs first aid

●learn first aid for common injuries and what to do in a first-aid emergency

●develop basic life skills, including how to deal with challenging situations

●get other ideas such as kindness, safety and sharing learning with others

If you have any questions, please contact reducation@redcross.org.uk.

9 . You’re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:

“I can’t believe it — Lorenzo Bertolla! It is almost impossible to find. Isn’t it beautiful? And it’s a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”

They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It’s nice and the price is right. You’ve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.

Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing.

Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.

Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don’t pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation — consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don’t trust ads.

So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice misleading, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing.” It is true, because everyone knows and ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. However, you don’t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.
