Sometimes one forgets to turn off the power 46 mending a lamp or something 47 . All this can cause accidents. So the 48 about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you 49 anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually 50.
If you’ve got 51 in the house, it’s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their 52 . otherwise, they may be taken for candies or new kinds of drinks. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular 53 in a number of ways in order to make them 54 and happy.
55 , of course, is always a risk. So, remember to turn it off after cooking. Also, don’t forget to keep the children away from the cooker.
Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
