Exercise 2.2
Today, we will talk about choking.
In fact, choking is quite a common problem
in our daily life.
What's choking?
This is when someone has an object stuck in
his or her throat.
This happens quite often when people are eating
If a piece of food gets stuck,
the person can't breathe
and the food doesn't go down.
When this happens,
we say that the person is choking.
Everyone should know what to do.
What should we do when this happens?
Should we hit the person on the back?
No, you shouldn't do that.
That's not a good idea because that can make
the object move down and maybe get stuck more.
You should do a trick called
the Heimlich Maneuver.
What's that?
It's a special movement to help a person
who is choking.
It's called the Heimlich Maneuver after Doctor
Henry Heimlich,the man who invented it.
