2. You can’t call 911 from a mobile phone in the USA.
3. People don’t need to pay for an emergency phone call in the USA.
4. In Saudi Arabia you can dial 999 for any incident.
5. For non-emergency situations people in the USA should call 112.
6. Telephone operators in the UK connect people to the emergency
service according to the incident.
7. 911 was the first emergency telephone number people used.
Also, everybody should know the emergency telephone numbers in their country.
In Saudi Arabia
There is not just one emergency number. 999
is the number people dial for the police. In case
of a _ire, they dial 998 and for an ambulance
the number is 997. These numbers are the most
important ones, although there are many more for
other services.
Also, people who visit Saudi Arabia should keep
in mind that they need to carry the emergency
number of their country’s embassy in case a
problem regarding their visa or passport arises.
In the USA
When there is an emergency, people call 911. It’s
the emergency telephone number for the USA and
the rest of North America. The call is free from any
phone and you can even call this number from a
locked mobile phone. The people who answer the
calls are called ‘dispatchers’ and they are trained to
control the situation and help the callers stay calm.
To make sure there aren’t too many calls to 911,
in North America people can also call 311.
In the UK
For emergency calls, people dial 999. In fact,
it was the _irst emergency number system ever
used and it started in London on 30th June 1937.
A 999 call is free, too. The telephone operator
answers your call and connects you to the correct
emergency service: _ire, police or ambulance.
You can also call 112, a free emergency telephone
number for all phones including mobiles. This
number is used in all European Union countries and
not only in the UK.
A three-digit number is not hard to remember. What is really important, though, is to remember
that these numbers are for emergency calls ONLY. Any other call wastes the dispatchers’ or
telephone operators’ time and this can easily put people’s lives in danger.

Tony There you go.
Alex What’s this?
Tony A present. Go on, open it. You may
need scissors.
Alex You really didn’t need to buy me anything.
Tony So, what do you think?
Alex Ermm... It’s a game console. But I already
have one.
Tony Not like this one. Come on, open it. It’s brilliant.
My cousin Frank has one and he plays all day.
Alex Is it the one with the wireless controller?
Tony That’s right, here it is. Let me show you. Let’s
say you’re playing a tennis game. You have to
swing the controller to hit the ball, like this.
Or for bowling, you have to move your arm
like this to throw the ball, just like in real
bowling.
Alex But you don’t throw the controller, do you?
Tony No, it might break. Anyway, it has a wrist strap
to stop you from dropping it.
Alex What about football? How do you pass the ball
or shoot?
Tony I’m not sure, but I know you can use the
controller like a normal game controller.
Alex Sounds like fun. What games do I have?
Tony Well, it comes with lots of sports games. Tennis,
baseball, boxing, golf... What shall we start with?
Alex Do you need to ask?
Tony Of course, golf, your favourite.
Alex So, you swing the controller like this to hit the
ball.

could beat you.
