他们怎么了？看看今天的道路情况。相当多的行人和骑自行车的人表现得好像根本没有交通规则。他们喜欢在任何地方，甚至在任何地方都可以穿过马路，即使有几码以外的地方。有的甚至把自己处于危险的近路爬在道路中间分隔。许多司机像F1赛车在高速公路上。他们开车时不小心。他们通常通过斑马线速度，即使行人在那里。十字路口，行人和骑自行车的人不会停下来或停下来。他们都忘记了他们在哪里。有时，有些人在公路上开车，没有驾驶执照，或者更糟，酒后驾车，这会使这条道路变成一个血腥的战场。为什么这样的事情发生？在我看来，这仅仅是由于他们缺乏道德责任，人们忽视了各种交通规则，道路安全，甚至是其他人的生活。这导致了他们的坏和鲁莽的行为，这使得交通条件从坏到更坏。它被认为是不应该做的事情，以改善整体状况。然后道路安全不会是一个问题和交通条件不会是一个麻烦给我们了。

寒假计划
我期待寒假的到来。为了过一个愉快的假期，我制定了一个寒假计划。首先，我的妈妈肯定会叫我去写作业的。如果我不听她的话，在接下来的日子里我就不会过得安宁，除非我完成了作业。所以寒假里我要做的第一件事就是完成我的作业。然后我会充分利用我的时间去和我的朋友玩，因为在春节即将到来的时候我要帮我妈妈准备春节的事情。春节前三天，我会和爸爸妈妈去外婆家。春节后我打算与我的家人去旅行。至于去哪里，我还没有计划。也许为了看雪我们会去哈尔滨。作为南方本地人，我从未见过雪，很希望能看一次。旅行之后，我想我也该准备回学校了。这是我即将到来的假期计划。你的是什么呢？

很多高中生来到了敏感的年龄，他们渴望变得独立，但是他们的父母仍然把他们当做小孩子。当父母来到学校的时候，孩子们抵触和他们的父母接触，因为如果他们表现得想个小孩子，会被同学取笑。实际上，高中生差不多是成年人了，他们应该行动起来，让父母发现他们已经长大了。当在家里的时候，他们应该负责，做一些家务，没有父母的监督，也能解决自己的事务。如果父母看到这些，他们会意识到孩子已经长大，并开始成年，可以自己做决定。因此学生需要在家里需要独立，证明自己已经长大，这样父母才会放手，给予他们更多私人的空间。

多年后我仍然记得那件事，仍然感到害怕。它发生在我出去玩的路上。那是一个星期日。我想去玛吉家。然而，在我路过一条河的时候，我看到三个与我年纪相仿的孩子在河里玩。他们是多么的开心啊！在那个时候，我有一个想法，我要叫玛吉和我一起到河里游泳。突然，发生了一些恐怖的事情。其中一个孩子滑倒了，另外两个想去帮他。不幸的是他们三个都一起在水里挣扎。我呆住了。然后我立刻冲到河边。但是，除了平静的河面我什么都没看见。我知道发生了什么事。我吓坏了。几个小时后，我听到他们死亡的消息。我很害怕很伤心以至于从那以后我从来没有走近过任何河流。
