Survival skills we need to know
C1
1. Watch a video [https://youtu.be/8y9zfEuzK7Q] and discuss the questions.
• What do you think about the campaign in the video? Have you seen other campaigns or films about
first aid?
• Why is the song important in the video? The song helps you hit 100–120 beats per minute for
correct chest compressions while doing CPR.
• Do you know how to administer first aid?
• Did you have a course on first aid at school?
• Which of these are first aid myths? What should you do instead? All of these are myths.
- apply butter to burns This can trap heat and worsen the injury. You should cool the burn
with cold running water and cover it with a sterile dressing.
- tilt the head back for nosebleeds This leads to swallowing blood. Instead, you should lean
forwards slightly, and pinch the nostrils together.
- consume alcohol to warm up This can lower your body temperature. It’s a better idea to opt
for proper clothing and shelter to maintain warmth.
- use a belt as a tourniquet This can cause severe damage and not stop the bleeding. Instead,
apply direct pressure if you don’t have a proper tourniquet and seek professional medical
help for wound care.
• Can you suggest other useful skills like first aid?
2. Look at the things and assess how well you’d be able to do them.
Ask follow-up questions: Who taught you? Where did you learn it? How important is this skill for you?
• navigate using a compass
• change a flat tyre
• react appropriately when attacked by an angry animal
• fix an electrical socket
• treat nausea
• start a fire without matches

3. Match the halves to create sentences. Decide which skills in ex. 2 the tips could relate to.
There are no correct answers. The tips might be suitable for different situations. These are some
possible answers: navigate using a compass: tip G; change a flat tyre: tip E; react appropriately when
attacked by an angry animal: tips B, C, F, G; fix an electrical socket: tip B; treat nausea: tip D; start a
fire without matches: tips A, G.
A. If you show resourcefulness, 4
B. Any mistake you make 7
C. You need to think 3
D. You can try and forage for 1
E. You don’t have to be adept 2
F. When facing 5
G. Take bushcraft training before 6
1. some medicinal plants.
2. at mechanics to do it.
3. on your feet in such situations.
4. you don’t need any specialized gear.
5. adversity like this, stay calm.
6. going into the wilderness.
7. can be deadly.
4. Complete the texts with the words from ex. 3. Say which opinion you agree with the most.
A. For people who live in big cities the chances of getting lost in the
wilderness are close to zero. I don’t get why anyone needs to learn
bushcraft unless it’s their hobby. With the abundance of supplies and
tech advancement that we have these days, I can hardly imagine a
situation where I would need to forage for food or be adept at
navigating using the stars.
B. When it comes to survival skills, it’s not only about resourcefulness
and the ability to find things. It’s mainly about being able to think on
your feet when facing adversity. And in survival, even a small mistake
can be deadly. It’s also a must to have the right gear for emergency
situations because the world is an unpredictable place.
5. Look at the questions and answer them yes or no. Explain and give tips.
Possible answers:
A. Supposing I encounter a bear in the wilderness, is it wise to run for my life? No. You should never
turn your back on a bear because it will chase you. The safest thing would be to have some bear
spray with you when you go into the wilderness.

B. If I were to get lost in the jungle, should I find a river and follow it upstream? No. You might get
even more lost. If you get lost in the jungle, stay put and wait for rescue.
C. Should I ever be in a situation where I need to help a person choking, does the protocol say to
perform the Heimlich manoeuvre? Yes
D. Would it be safe to collect and drink rainwater providing I boiled it first? Yes
E. Can I make a fire using big logs provided that they are dry? No. It’s really difficult to start a fire
using big logs. If you need to make a fire in the wilderness, start with small twigs and tinder.
Ask students to look at the questions again and find conditional phrases.
6. Look at the conditional phrases in ex. 5 and choose the correct option to complete the rules.
A. We use ‘supposing’ to mean ‘what if’/‘if not’. We can use it in first, second and third conditional
sentences.
B. ‘If I/you were to’ is similar to ‘If I/you’ used in the first/second conditional but it is considered to be
more formal.
C. ‘Should I/you (ever) + infinitive’ is the most/least formal phrase. It’s often followed by the first
conditional, a clause with a modal verb or imperative.
D. ‘Providing (that)’/‘Provided (that)’ mean ‘unless’/‘on condition (that)’ and can be used with first,
second and third conditionals. ‘Providing (that)’ is used more in speaking, whereas ‘provided (that)’
is more formal.
7. Rewrite the questions in two or three different ways. Use the structures from ex. 6.
A. Is it safe to forage for edible wild food on condition that you can positively identify the plants? Is it
safe to forage for edible wild food providing you can positively identify the plants? Is it safe to
forage for edible wild food provided that you can positively identify the plants?
B. Imagine you get lost in a forest, what is the first thing you’ll do? Supposing you get lost in a forest,
what is the first thing you’ll do? / If you were to get lost in a forest, what is the first thing you would
do? Should you ever get lost in a forest, what is the first thing you'll do?
8. Work in pairs. Choose a category and come up with a few scenario-based questions to ask your
partner. Use conditional phrases.
EXAMPLE: Supposing your car broke down in the middle of nowhere, what would you do? Would
you be able to fix it providing you had all the right tools?

9. Discuss the questions.
• What specific survival skills do you believe are essential for everyone to learn in today's world?
• Have you ever had to rely on any survival skills you've learned in a real-life situation? Please share
your experience.
• In your opinion, should schools and educational institutions incorporate survival skills into their
curriculum? Why/Why not?
• Supposing a person went to one of these places, what life or survival skills might it be crucial for
them to acquire?
- a military conflict zone - a country prone to natural disasters
This worksheet includes an additional task that you can use as homework or revision. It’s only
available in the teacher’s version of the worksheet. The task with the answer key is below, while the
students’ version is on the last page. Print it, cut it up and hand it out to your students.
Come up with a list of tips on how to survive getting lost in a forest. Use the ideas in the pictures,
the vocabulary and the structures from the boxes.
Possible answer: Supposing you get lost in the wilderness, the first thing you need to do is stay calm.
Then, you can try and retrace your steps to find your way back. You can use your phone to call for help
providing you can find a place with a good signal. Mark your trail so that you know whether you’re
walking in circles. You can try and call for help. If you were to get lost and not make it back before
night, you’d need to make a fire to stay warm, and build a shelter provided you knew some bushcraft
or had some gear.
