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.'

Project
Teen support group: social skills.
Good morning teacher and friends.
Today, I am here to present about my team project about a teen support group in our
school. My team want to build a teen support group to help students to improve their social
skills.
We call this group “Blue bird team” since we want to connect students within our school.
As we planned, the team will include about 8-10 people. Half of the team will be responsible
for organizing events for students such as meetings, talk show or teambuilding, … They will
create a format and environment in which participants have repeated attendance in group
sessions. The other half will help students to build bonds with group members for ongoing
support and belonging. They will create activities or tasks that require teamwork of all
members. We focus on facilitating a tangible experience for students about society and
communication.
Thanks for listening!
