I’m Ellen Green. Here is Travelling Time. Nice to see you again this week. Today we will talk about what to do if we get lost in the forest. Have you ever gone camping with your friends in the forest? Have you been lost?If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends-----let them find you. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You canshout or whistle (口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal (信号) given three times--- is called for help.Keep shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When they hear you, people will know that you are not making a noise just for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is answering a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches. Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass. When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and throw them as you walk in order to go back again easily.Remember, when you are lost, the most important thing to do is to stay in one pl ace. Wish you a nice trip in the forest next time. Thanks for watching. See you next week. ( )8. If you get lost, what should you do?A. Whistling two times together.B. Make a noise for fun.C.
