October 6th, Saturday Fine
There was a terrible car accident happened at 8:10 on Xin Hua Road. That’s because the driver was very careless. When he was driving, he didn’t find there were two students near the car. When he stopped the car, it was too late. In the accident, the driver hurt badly and was sent to the hospital. Luckily, the two students were a little hurt. They were also sent to the hospital.
The accident told us that we must be careful when we drove or walked on the road. I thought we must obey the traffic rules and have to wait for the green traffic light. Especially, for students, we must learn to protect ourselves when we walk on the road. The safety is the most important thing to us.
