　　A

　　Meet Liam Mills，the first aid specialist who provides life­saving support at festivals and events，and he's just 16 years old.

　　A bit young to be a first aider，aren't you?

　　You might think that，but in fact I've been doing this for almost a year now.I already have a huge amount of valuable experience.

　　Why did you join the British Red Cross?

　　I've always been interested in first aid，so when I saw some Red Cross volunteers at a local event I went over for a quick talk.After hearing what they had to say，I jumped at the chance of joining.

　　What's the big attraction?

　　As soon as you've treated an injured man，you will never look back.I've treated many types of injury now，from cut fingers to even heart disease cases.It's endlessly challenging and interesting.

　　What have you learned?

　　I'm now a skilled volunteer，which means I have additional qualifications (资历) on top of my standard first aid certificate (证书)．For example，I'm qualified to use Entonox (laughing gas) for pain management.First aid with the Red Cross is a whole lot more than just cleaning and dressing wounds.

　　Any stand­out memories?

　　Once，my colleague and I attended a call.As we approached the scene，all I could see was someone lying perfectly still on the floor.When you realise that someone is helpless and completely depending on you to do the right thing，you feel this sudden rush of responsibility.But fortunately，our training means we have the confidence and knowledge to deal with such situations.

　　Best thing about being an event first aider?

　　You get to help people，while also enjoying the chance of going to lots of great events.It really is a win­win situation.
