B. Johana’s brother almost had a terrible accident at home this morning. Her
uncle Javier forgot to unplug the electrical razor so Cristian was playing with
it, luckily Johana was close and she put the electrical razor out of Cristian’s
reach. Johana’s family decided to make a checklist and identify safety
problems at home in order to avoid accidents. Safety first! The house was
categorized into six areas and possible risks in each of them were
identified.
Put sharp objects out of children’s reach. They could cut themselves.
Never let children play with lighters or matches. They can burn themselves.
Lock doors and drawers, kids can hurt themselves.
Store chemicals and cleaning products away from children, they can poison
themselves.
Cover plugs when they are not in use. Children could give themselves an
electrical shock.
We can see in the examples the reflexive pronoun themselves. In these first
examples, reflexive pronouns are used to show that the person doing the action
and the person receiving the action are the same. As you can see, reflexive
pronouns go after the main verb in the sentence:
Pronoun Reflexive pronoun
I Myself
You Yourself
She Herself
He Himself
It Itself
They Themselves
We Ourselves
A. New parents are excited and confused when their child is a baby. But these
feelings disappear as they learn more information and gain experience
caring for children. Read the following e-mail a new mom wrote to her own
mother asking for advice. She is overwhelmed. She is looking for advice
about dealing with her new role. She is also trying to keep her marriage
safe. It is a hard moment in life for many people, but asking your own
parents for advice seem the best solution for new parents.

Expressing advice requires the modal verb should. Look at the examples from
the text:
You should hire a babysitter because you need time to get better.
Your husband should help you with the baby.
You should keep a balance among family and your personal needs.
Keep in mind:
B. Living in a safe house does not mean we will not have any accidents. It is
important to know what we have to and must do.
Modal verb have to express obligation
