Just an hour after completing her first aid course, Mamta     1     (wait) at a bus stop when she heard a crash and saw a motorcyclist flying through the air — his helmet was going one way and his motorbike the     2    . She could also see a pedestrian (行人) was knocked down.

As other pedestrians stood     3     (shock) by the scene, Mamta     4     (immediate) stepped forward and helped. The motorcyclist’s eyes were rolling back; his head and arm     5     (injure), and he was making noises. So she shouted at him, “Can you breathe?” While he was given emergency     6     (treat), the confused motorcyclist actually tried to walk away but Mamta insisted he wait for the ambulance. Once the motorcyclist was comfortable, Mamta went over     7     (check) on the injured pedestrian and pressed her blouse on his     8     (bleed) arm. Before long, official medical help arrived.

Looking back on the incident, Mamta said, “I’d been asking tons of questions all through that day’s course. Little     9     I know that I’d be putting it into practice on my way home. It just shows that even the most basic training can make     10     difference.”
