People always care about their safety. As teenagers, we should always keep ourselves safe. But how can we keep safe Here are some of ideas about how to keep safe. First, we should be careful when we make friends, especially online. Second, if we are in danger, we must call the police for help in time so that we can keep ourselves safe. Also, we should eat healthily and safely. Eating junk food will not be good for our health. Last, when we come to school or go home, we must follow the traffic rules. In summer, we must remember it's dangerous to swim in the river. Don't forget that safety comes first wherever you go.

One Possible Version:
I think the train is one of the greatest inventions in history. Do you know who invented it Let me tell you something about it. The train was invented by George Stephenson. He was an engineer from Britain. He did lots of experiments and made the first train in 1814. A steam engine was used in his train. In 1825, on the first day when the train ran, people along the way heard the noise and saw it running. They thought it was a monster. They ran back home, closed their doors and were afraid to come out. But now the train is one of the most important means of transportation in the world.
