An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident

It was the morning of April 6th, 2003. At about 7:30, I went to school by bike as usual. It was a rainy day and the road was slippery. On the way, I noticed a boy riding in front of me, talking loudly with his friends. He didn’t wear a raincoat; instead he held an umbrella in one hand, and rode with another hand. As he turned left to Guangming Road, he failed to see a car coming from behind a truck parked on the corner. Suddenly I heard a big noise and saw an umbrella thrown away. The boy was knocked down by the car. I was completely shocked.

I think the boy’s absent-mindedness accounted much for the accident. He was talking all the time and dangerously used an umbrella while riding a bike. The weather also played a role in the tragedy. The third cause was the improperly parked truck, which was big enough to make the road conditions invisible to the students who were going to make a turn. All these contributed to this accident.

Reduce Waste on Campus

For college students, the campus should be a holy place to study in and a comfortable place to live. Yet, you can see the phenomenon of waste everywhere. In the dining hall, students buy much more food than what they can eat and dump the leftover. In the classroom you can see blank paper on the floor and in the washing closet, water keeps dripping but the students don’t bother to turn the faucets off.

Waste on campus may bring really serio us consequences. For students themselves, it’s not just money. What they have for med is a bad habit of wasting which will accompany them into their future life. For the whole society, which is suffering from overpopulation, waste is highly likely to be a case for energy crises or water supply shortage.

In order to reduce waste on campus, we college students should start the anti-waste campaign with ourselves. Thrift has been a good virtue in China for thousands of years and thrifty people are always respected by all the people Thus, mind the trifles beside ourselves, try to avoid waste around us and moreover, spread the idea of thrift and let it take root in everybody’s heart.

Mobile Phone Uses Should Be Restricted in Library

1. 图书馆里时常有人使用手机打电话

2. 这种作法并不可取。

3. 应当采用一些措施

The improper use of mobile phones is becoming increasingly serious in the library. Many students are found talking loudly on phones or taking a phone in audible ringing mode into the library.

There is no doubt that those poor manners have a negative impact on library users. For one thing, mobile phones are a distraction for those users, for they can hardly focus on reading. For another, such behavior causes disturbance to other people. It's very important for the users to maintain a quiet atmosphere since the library is a place for study and research.

Restriction to mobile phone uses in the library helps to create an excellent atmosphere and does good to all library users. So all students should comply with library regulations and keep quiet in the library. If they do need to use mobile phones, they can set their mobile phones in the silence mode and make phone calls in designated areas, such as restrooms, photocopier rooms and the elevator area.
