This free GEPT elementary handout helps students talk about a current and practical topic: hot weather safety.
Students read three A2-level passages, learn useful health and weather vocabulary, practice five daily-life dialogs, and give simple safety advice.
The lesson is original classroom material informed by public heat-safety guidance from WHO, CDC, and Taiwan health authorities.
Leo is a junior high school student. It is Tuesday morning, and the weather is very hot. The temperature is already 34 degrees before lunch. Leo has PE class after the second period. He likes basketball, but today he feels tired before the game starts.
His teacher, Ms. Lin, looks at the students and says, 'Today is very hot. Please drink water before class. We will practice in the shade first, and we will take more breaks.' Leo brings a water bottle, but his friend Ben forgets his. Leo shares some water with him.
After ten minutes, Ben says, 'I feel dizzy.' Ms. Lin asks him to sit down in a cool place. She gives him water and tells another student to call the school nurse. Ben feels better after resting. The class learns an important lesson: hot weather can be dangerous, even during a short class.
In summer, many cities send heat warnings. A heat warning tells people that the weather may be dangerous. It is not only for old people. Children, students, outdoor workers, and people who exercise outside can also get sick from heat.
There are simple ways to stay safe. First, drink water often. Do not wait until you feel very thirsty. Second, stay in the shade or in a cool room when the sun is strong. Third, wear light clothes, a hat, and sunscreen. Fourth, plan outdoor activities in the morning or evening.
People should also know the signs of heat illness. A person may feel dizzy, weak, thirsty, or have a headache. If this happens, the person should stop activity, move to a cool place, drink water, and ask for help. If the person is confused or cannot wake up, call emergency help right away.
On Saturday afternoon, Leo visits his grandmother. She lives alone near his home. His mother says, 'It is very hot this week. Please check if Grandma has enough water and if her room is cool.' Leo walks to her house with two bottles of water.
Grandma is sitting by the window. The room feels warm. Leo closes the curtain because the sun is coming in. He turns on the fan and asks Grandma to drink some water. He also puts her medicine and water bottle on the table, so she can reach them easily.
Before Leo leaves, he writes a short note: 'Drink water. Rest in a cool room. Call us if you feel dizzy.' Grandma smiles and says, 'Thank you. You are careful.' Leo learns that staying safe in hot weather is not only about yourself. It is also about helping family, friends, and neighbors.
