Question

【题目】What will you do if you are in trouble on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to attract the attention of a passing plane.

Body language

Pilots(飞行员) from different countries understand body languages if they have the correct training. When you put your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, “yes”. When you point down and swing (摇摆) your arm from side to side, it means “no”. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯下) your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land, put your arms up in the air and move them to one side.

Start a fire

The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to attract attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they lose control. Never light a tire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

Ground- to- air marks

It’s a good idea lo make some marks, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the marks. If you can’t find any wood, use earth. Some useful marks are:

F :“I need food and water”

II:“I need medicine.”

I:“I am badly hurt.”

X:“I can’t move from here”

So next time, if you meet this problem and can’t get away from the island, try the advice above.
