In 'Video Resources (3): Drowning / Rescued from Drowning 1', we've seen the actual footage of the rescue of a girl who had fallen off her float in a swimming pool.
The following video is a clip from a television programme.
The programme featured a footage of a boy who was rescued by a lifeguard when he appeared to be drowning in the sea. The interview in the video clip provides great advice on the signs of drowning and also introduces us to a range of useful words and content for our writing.

After viewing both videos, did you notice some similarities?
1) The people around the struggling swimmers did not know that they were drowning. They were oblivious to what was going on.
2) Both of the children's heads were bobbing up and down the water. They were trying desperately to gasp for air.
3) Although both the boy and the girl were splashing about the water frantically, to the other swimmers, they looked like they were 'playing' or fooling around.
4) Both the boy and the girl could not scream or wave their hands for help.
