### sense in the lessons

In everyday life and water safety: inflatable toys can blow away in wind or float out to sea — use them only in shallow water near an adult; armbands help but are not life jackets. In science: air pressure inside keeps an inflatable firm. Phrases: «inflatable boat», «inflatable castle», «inflatable mattress».
