Road Accidents

Road accidents are a serious problem in modern life. In this part, you are required to write within 40 minutes a composition of no less than 200 words about road accidents. Your composition should be based on the following outline.
1. Losses caused by road accidents
2. Suggested ways to reduce road accidents
3. My comments
最近5年来道路事故的数目不断上升, 尤其在城市中。 每当发生交通事故, 有关的人员不是受伤就是死亡。它们对国家和受害者的家庭造成了巨大的损失。因此, 迫在眉睫的是, 我们应该采取措施来减少交通事故并确保道路安全。
我想有几个方法可以降低事故率。首先, 政府应该采取积极措施来改善道路状况。例如: 应该投资更多的钱来建造新的公路, 许多又老又窄的城市街道应加宽或重建。其次, 地方当局应该用各种可能的方法来教育人民遵守交通规则。 最后, 行人穿过繁华街道时应小心谨慎。
我认为, 以上所提到的几个方面是避免交通事故所必需的。随着车辆不断地增加，城市道路正变得越来越拥挤。但是假如每个人各尽其责并遵守交通规则, 道路将会变得更安全。我相信，交通状况将会改善，尽管我们还有许多困难要克服。
