Policeman saves a man - level 1 An American policeman is on patrol. He drives over a bridge. The policeman sees a man. The man stands on the edge of the bridge. The policeman stops his car. The man wants to jump off of the bridge! The cop gets out of the car and catches the man. The man is pulled to safety. We don’t know the man’s name. He is in hospital. Difficult words: be on patrol (to watch an area), cop (policeman), pull (move). Policeman saves a man - level 2 An American policeman was on his routine patrol when he saw a man. The man stood on the edge of a bridge. The policeman stopped but the man told him to go away. However, the policeman realised that the man wanted to commit suicide, so he got out of the car and ran towards the man. Just as the man jumped, the policeman caught him and dragged him to safety. We don’t know who the man is, but a local hospital is evaluating him. Difficult words: commit suicide (to kill yourself), drag (pull), evaluate (watch somebody to get information about them). Policeman saves a man - level 3 This dramatic footage shows the moment a Maryland police officer saves a mans life, preventing him from an apparent suicide attempt. Caught on camera, state trooper Joshua Kim can be seen arriving just in time to pull the potential jumper from the edge of the Tydings Memorial Bridge in Maryland. Kim was carrying a routine patrol of the area when he spotted the man standing precariously on the edge of the bridge. As Kim pulls up the man lifts his hand, almost shooing him away. Realising it could be a potential suicide case, he leaps from the car. The video then shows the officer start a run towards him, as the man lifts his leg over the bridge wall, before being dragged to safety. The man has not been identified and is currently being evaluated at a local hospital. Difficult words: footage (video), attempt (try), state trooper (policeman), patrol (watch), spot (see), pull up (stop), precariously (dangerously), shoo (make a person go away by saying “shoo” or gesturing), drag (pull), evaluate (watch somebody to get information about them).
