Emergencies

In an emergency, speak slowly and give the essential facts first: what, where, who.

• State the problem clearly: “I need help — there's been an accident.”
• Pharmacy/doctor: “I have a headache / a sore throat / a fever.”
• Useful: “Could you call an ambulance?” / “Where's the nearest hospital?”
