1. Teacher encourages the student to answer the following questions in order to reinforce and evaluate the
student's learning.
1) 当飞机受到气流颠簸时，您会听到的广播内容应该是？
 If the student is interested:

(Delta) Safety Video: 优酷视频链接：http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODk2MDI3NzI=.html?from=s1.8-1-1.2

All carry- on items, should now be stored securely. Either in an overhead bin or under the seat in
front of you. And all aisles, exits and bulkhead areas should be clear. Your mobile phones and other
electronic devices should be turned off. Once airborne, we’ll let you know when you can use
approved electronic devices. But note that some items such as phones may not be used in flight at
any time. You’ll find a list of approved electronic devices in the in-flight information section of Sky
Magazine. If this plane features Wi-Fi onboard, Internet access will be available while we’re above
10,000 feet. If you are seated at an emergency exit, please review the responsibilities for
emergency exit seating on the back of the safety information card, which in your seat pocket. If you
are unable or prefer not to perform these functions, just let us know and we’d be happy to find you
another seat. As you leave the gate, make sure your seatbelt is fastened. To fasten, insert the metal
tip into the buckle and adjust the strap, so it’s low and tight across your lap. To release the belt, lift
the top of the buckle or press the latch to release. Please remain seated with your seatbelt securely
fastened, if the seatbelt sign is on. Even if the sign is off, keep your seatbelt fastened in case we
experience unexpected rough air. For everyone’s safety, federal regulations require passengers to
comply with the posted placards and lighted signs located throughout the cabin as well as any
crew member instructions. Smoking is not allowed on any Delta flight and federal law prohibits
tampering with, disabling or destroying a restroom smoke detector. There are 8 exits on this
plane. 4 doors, 2 on each side. And 4 window exits over the wings. Each door has a detachable
slide that can be used for flotation. Life rafts are located in ceiling compartments at the front and
center of the plane. All exits are clearly marked with an exit sign. However, if there is a loss of power
and cabin visibility is reduced. White emergency lights near the floor will lead you to red lights
which indicated an exit. Please take a moment to find the exits closest to you. And remember they
might be behind you. It’s unlikely, but cabin pressure changes the panels above your seat will open
revealing oxygen masks. If this happens, reach up and pull a mask toward you until the tube is
fully extended. Place the mask over your nose and mouth, slip the elastic strap over your head
and adjust the mask if necessary. Breath normally and note that oxygen is flowing, so don’t worry, if
the bag doesn’t inflate. Be sure to adjust your own mask before helping others. A water evacuation
is also unlikely. But, just in case, life vests are located under your seats in the economy cabin. In the
first or business cabin, life vests are either between your seats, under your seats or in a
compartment under your armrest. To use, pull the tab to remove the vest from its container and
then open the pouch. Slip the vest over your head, fasten the two straps to the front of the vest and
then adjust the straps loosely around your waist. If you vest has one strap, wrap it around your
waist and attach it to the buckle in front. As you leave the plane, inflate the vest by pulling down on
the red tabs at the bottom of the vest. Or manually inflate it by blowing into the tubes at shoulder
level. You can activate a light by pulling down on the tab in front. If your vest doesn’t have a tab, the
light will activate automatically in the water. If necessary, we’ll distribute infant life vest or other
floatation devices. For children who weigh 35 pounds or less. Also, most seat cushions can be used
for flotation. Now, before we take off, be sure your seat is upright and locked, your tray table is put
away and all carry-on items are properly stowed. As we come through the cabin, for our final safety
checks, please let us know, if you have any questions. And now finally, it’s a good time for everyone
to review the safety information card, which is in your seat packet. Thanks for your attention, enjoy
your flight.
