三、老师讲课的重点

老师在课堂上一直围绕几个问题讲。

Decide which calls are the most important.

判断哪些电话最重要。

因为有时候:

所以他们必须判断:

Which call is the most important?

哪个电话最重要?

2. 打电话的人通常是什么状态?

他们可能:

excited or nervous

情绪激动或者紧张。

甚至可能非常害怕,不知道该怎么说。

所以接线员必须:

stay calm

保持冷静。

并且:

be patient

有耐心。

3. 打 911 的人应该做什么?

老师特别强调:

Explain the problem.

说明发生了什么。

Give important information.

提供重要信息。

包括:

* name — 姓名

* address — 地址

* where the emergency is — 紧急情况在哪里

* what the problem is — 发生了什么问题

4. 911 接线员接下来做什么?

他们要:

call the correct emergency service.

联系正确的紧急救援部门。

例如:

🔥 Fire department

消防部门

🚓 Police department

警察部门

🚑 Ambulance / emergency medical service

救护车 / 紧急医疗服务
