•
They try to drape a blanket over the bat, bette if you use thick gloves
to not hurt it.
•
•
You can call and expert if everything else fails on trying to get the bat [3]
out of your house
(b) Using your list, write a summary to describe ways to remove a bat from the house. Use
up to 50 words.
If a bat gets in your house you can use 5 different techniques to get the bat
out of your house without doing any damage to it. The first one is a butterfly
net which is hard but still can, if that does not work knock down the back
gently with a towel and will be easier to catch. You can also use a container
like a jar, bowl or bucket, you wait for it to land and then trap it in the
container, after trapping it in the container you slide a piece of paper and
then it will not be able to escape. Others drape a blanket over the bat do it
as gentle as possible as they can get hurt. If all of what I told you does not
work call an expert so they help you get it out.

Section B: Writing
17 Imagine a situation where something unusual happens that means you need to take action, for
example an injury or extreme weather.
Someday you might not be expecting it, you are in the wild having
fun alone or with your friends and you fall and have a deep cut
on your leg, which can lead to death if not treated quickly/correctly
There are some ways to be careful with this so if you get in this
situation you have a much higher rate of survival, so always when
out try to bring a tourniquet and some tissues - medical ones that
are clean and safe on a cut - and something to communicate, afte
we are going to start on how to use it in this situation.
The moment you cut yourself you should call for help instantly
call 911 and a friend to get you back to safety but more importantly
911, after calling 911 you should use the tourniquet that you have
in your bag, wrap it hard on your leg so your blood does not
flow and prevent death because of blood loss. If you forgot the tou
which might sound weird but you can stuff them inside your leg wh
can also help with the bleeding, you clean the cut from outside to r
infection and just wait there as calmed as possible and control bre
until the medics or person that is going to get you to your nearest
hospital arive.
