1 . Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road.
How can we lessen(减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians(行人), it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.

2 . When you go to a fast food restaurant, you may see many fat young people. Today, more and more young people are overweight. Many of them are too fat because of their bad eating habits. Most young people love food with a lot of oil, sugar and fat. We call this kind of food "junk food".

3 . Zheng Lin is a Junior 3 student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Earlier this month, Zheng and his classmates stood on the street with a box asking people for donations（捐款）. Later they gave the money they got to the poor students in their school.
Many Chinese students raise money to help people in need. Most of the time, they hold a box and ask for donations on the street or in the park. Or they sell things like old books and CDs. Those students have done a great job so far. The money helps the students in poor areas like Yunnan and Gansu with new clothes, pens and pencils.
Teenagers in the US make donations, too. But they raise money in a different way—they raise money by doing something for others. For example, they sell homemade food or play musical concerts in their neighbourhood to raise money.
“Chinese students like to wait for people to donate, or sell things that they buy with their parents’ money,” says Ge Daoshun, an expert. "While US kids get donations and give people something useful in return.”
Ge says Chinese teenagers should learn to raise money in the US kids’ways. “That way, they can show their talents and practice communication. More importantly, they can learn every coin counts（有价值）. They have to work hard to get a donation.”
