### In the lessons

Everyday life and safety: «caller ID» shows who is phoning; children learn not to give personal details to unknown callers, not to say they are home alone, and to tell an adult about strange calls; at the door, do not let a caller in unless a grown-up says it is OK. In events: a bingo caller reads out numbers (maths: number recognition), a square-dance caller tells dancers the moves. Phrases: caller ID, unknown caller, the caller said, a bingo caller.

Countable: callers. From «call» + «-er». In emergency calls, you are «the caller», and the operator will ask you questions — stay calm and answer clearly.
