People are often killed while they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually can’t see or hear very well. Children are killed because they are not careful. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.
A moving car, truck or bus cannot stop quickly. If a car is going very fast, it will travel a few metres before it stops. People don’t always understand this. The faster a car is travelling, the longer it takes to stop. It is very hard for a person to know how fast a car is travelling.
The only safe way to cross the road is to look right and then left. It’s not safe to run on the road. We must walk across the roads quickly.

Road accidents keep happening in every city, on every road and at any time. Traffic rules are made to keep order on the road. They can also help to keep the pedestrians(行人) safe.
The pedestrian has as many rules to follow as the driver of a car. You should walk on the sidewalk or at the edge of the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street. If you ride a bike, don’t ride in the middle of the road or look around to talk. If you drive, you should slow down at the traffic lights. You must always wear a seat belt(安全带). Without the belts, both the driver and the passengers may be badly hurt in a sudden accident.
Traffic rules are also called Road Safety rules. The maxim(格言) for all road users is “Thinking about others.”

British roads are some of the safest in the world. A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This number was lower than any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.
People in Britain drive on the left side of the road. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don’t forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts (环岛).
British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue of traffic, then don’t try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn; otherwise people may get angry with you.
You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a comer or if there isn’t any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this.
If another driver flashes(闪烁) his car’s lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don’t like to use their car horn(喇叭) much and they think people who do so are rude.
If you get in an accident, don’t try to pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison.

【推荐3】It’s very important to follow the traffic（交通）rules in our life. When we go outside, we have to follow the traffic rules. Go at green lights and stop at red lights. When we take a car or sit next to the driver, we have to wear safety belts（安全带）. Also, we should tell our parents to follow the rules. When they drink wine（酒）, they mustn’t drive on the road. Rules, rules, rules! There are too many rules in the world. The government（政府）is strict but these traffic rules make us safe（安全的）.

According to a new survey, student safety has become a big problem. Now in many big cities of China, many schools start a new lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.
Lin Li, a teacher from Yang ma, gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.
If you are in a traffic accident
If a car hurts you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt.
If it is raining hard and there is lightning
Don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees.
When there is a fire
Get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.
If someone is drowning
If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.
Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!
If you are robbed (抢劫)
Keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.

Dear editor,
I’m so sorry to tell you that a 3-year-old boy fell into the sinkhole(下水口) without a cover at night on May 12th while walking with his father on the street. It was a big hit to his family and all the other people. So many cities across safety about the cover of the sewers. Many days has passed but nothing has found in the sewers though lots of firemen have worked hard all day and all night.
In fact, every year a lot of people got injured or died in accidents. It is reported that many accidents resulted from people’s breaking off traffic rules, pedestrians(行人) or drivers’ carelessness, but sometimes the duty of our municipal administration(市政). Road safety has aroused much. So what should we do to ensure safety on the rood?
In my opinion, when one crosses the street, one should take the crosswalk, underground passage or sidewalks. If one is riding a bike or motorcycle, keep riding on the right side of the road. When the red light is on, please stop and wait until the green light is on. Give a hand signal if one wants to turn or stop. It is important to let the children know that playing on the rood is very dangerous. Helping the aged and children cross the road is always a kind deed. And drivers should obey the traffic rules. too. If everyone is carefully enough, it’ll be much safer to walk or ride on the road. After the boy’s loss, Xi’an begins to take action to hang a thread net under the cover to keep safer.
Of course, our certain departments(部门) should care about our people’s safety. They’d set more traffic signs, often check and improve safety facilities(设施) on the street, in shops, restaurants and so on. As we all know, there will be nothing without people’s safety. After all, life in not a small matter.

When summer comes, quite a few people enjoy swimming in the water. There are many places for swimming, but first you need to know how to be safe.
 Tips on water safety; ◆Read all of the signs before swimming, because you must make sure you’re tall enough（足够）and old enough. ◆Find out how deep the water is first. If you’re just learning to swim, stay in the shallow（浅的）water. ◆Check your health condition first. Make sure you’re not too full or too hungry. Don’t jump in the water if you don’t feel very well. ◆Do some warm ups before swim in order to prevent hands or feet cramps（抽筋）. ◆Always have an adult watch you when you’re in the water. Make sure there’s a lifeguard, and she or he can help you. ◆People who are not good at swimming are not allowed to get in the water for rescue. | This summer vacation, Li Mei went to a water park with her friends. She just started to swim, but she didn’t wear the life jacket. When she swam to the deep water area, she got drowned（溺水）. Luckily, a lifeguard（救生员）saw it and saved her. |
In August, five students went swimming in the Fish Scale Dam in Ya’an, Sichuan. When they played water in the river, it started to rain. A villager saw them and shouted, “Keep away from the river! The rain is getting hard, and the river will be soon flooded（淹没）.” After hearing this, they quickly swam to the bank, and ran to the safe places. However, a boy didn’t get to the bank in time. When the river suddenly flooded, he was washed away. His friends got so worried. Some of them shouted for help and called 119. The others looked around and found a piece of wood. They threw it to the boy to help him keep floating（漂浮）. After a while, some villagers came with a long rope and a life ring. Finally, the boy grabbed the rope and got rescued（救助）. |

Have you ever found it difficult to get up early on cold mornings? We often feel tired and sleepy when we wake up. It really needs strong courage to get up in winter. Here are some tips for you to make “getting up on cold mornings” easy.
Get as much natural light as you can
Enough bright light will help you get up early, says Jennifer Martin, doctor from American University of Sleep Medicine. That’s because light influences melatonin (褪黑激素), which plays an important role in sleep. As a result, when you wake up, taking a walk or enjoying coffee outside will be good.
Some people prefer to use curtains or wear eye masks to create a dark sleeping environment, but that will be a bad idea if you want to get up early the next day.
Form the fixed early rising habit
There are two ways to help you get up early. First, you can force yourself to get up at a fixed time. It must be difficult in the beginning but after a few weeks, you will not feel hard. Martin recommends people can try another way. You can get up ten minutes earlier than usual on the first day. After a few days, you can get up another ten minutes earlier. Finally, you will get used to the new habit.
Go to bed early in the evening
A fixed bedtime is also important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should have at least seven hours of sleep. So you’ll probably need to go to bed early if you want to change your habit. Research shows that we should make sure we are not in the bright light for at least an hour before we sleep. Bright light will influence (影响) our abilities to fall asleep. Listening to soft music or doing some reading may be helpful before you sleep.
Plan something to look forward to
To encourage you to get out of bed, Martin suggests treating yourself to something special you can enjoy. Go to buy your favorite coffee or pick up some delicious breakfast. Start a day with something nice, and you will find getting up early on cold mornings is not difficult.

Communicating effectively (有效地) is important for everyone who hopes to be successful. It’s a skill that everyone can learn and improve with some practice.
Choosing the Right Environment
Choose the right time. We need to think about when others will be most willing to listen. The right time will make everyone comfortable.
Choose the right place. Where we communicate can also influence (影响) a conversation.
Communicating with Speech
Be careful when listening. That means you should look at the speaker with nodding your head sometimes. We can also actively listen by sharing our understanding of what another speaker has said after he finishes talking.
Show ideas in a clear way. Try your best to make your speech short and clear.
Communicating with Body Language
Communicating eye to eye is the most important form of body language. It shows your interest and people know that they can trust you.
Feeling nervous is natural. Deep, calming breaths are an effective way to clear your mind and relax before starting.
Communicating effectively is a useful tool to improve your relationships at home, at school and everywhere you go.
