A. Attention grabber: Today I’m going to talk about how to perform CPR-an act that
you always see on the movie when someone is drowning. You must think that CPR is easy

emergency. It could be that someone you are with is injured or in trouble, or you could
encounter a stranger who needs medical attention. Regardless of the circumstances, the
ability to act in an emergency and save a life is an invaluable skill that everyone should have.

seminar on how to perform CPR when I’m in secondary school and I also was a Red Crescent
Club member.
