1.校园安全

建设平安校园是我们每个人的责任与义务。作为一名学生，我们更应该珍惜自己的生命，更应该注意自己的人身安全。假如你是Li Hua，并担任校学生会主席，请你就安全问题，向全校学生发出倡议，写一封安全倡议书。

★ 范文

Dear students,

As we know, safety is the most important thing in our lives. So, we should try our best to make sure we are safe. We mustn’t bring restricted knives or things to our school because these things may cause serious problems. Do not have a bath in rivers or ponds by ourselves without our parents’ permission. And, we should be friendly to others so fighting is strongly banned. Make sure that we should always pay attention to the traffic on our way to school or home. Furthermore, if we meet some emergency, we must call for help from the police or our teachers. In a word, following these safeties rules above can make us live in peace. Yours,

假如你是一所国际学校校办英文杂志的学生编辑.你看了下面这封信后，也想写一篇关于该信的读后感，内容要点包括：你对此事件的看法;解释你的理由并提出你的建议;向受害者表达尽快康复的祝愿. ★ 范文

Today, I received the reader's letter. I was shocked at it. Personally speaking, I think we should pay more attention to the food safety. The government must make some necessary laws. What's more, some businessmen shouldn't be only interested in making money. They must care about people's health. We'd better not eat anything in dirty places though some food is delicious, because eating unhealthy food does harm to our health. Finally, I hope the family in the accident will get better soon. 越来越多汽车进入我们的家庭生活，改善了我们的生活，但同时也带来了很多问题，如塞车和车祸，给家庭和社会带来极大的危害。作为中学生，我们应该怎样做呢? 请写一篇有关交通安全的短文(80字左右) 内容包含： 遵守交通规则，如走人行道/过斑马线。 别在街道上或马路上玩耍和踢球。 劝父母不能酒后驾车。 你可以适当增加内容，让短文通顺，过渡自然。 参考词汇：sidewalk 人行道 zebra-crossing 斑马线

With more and more cars coming into our families, we are happy that it has greatly improved our life. But unluckily, it has also brought many problems, such as heavy traffic and traffic accidents.

Traffic safety is everybody's business. We must obey the rules. For example, we must walk on walk side, when we cross zebra – crossing, stop and look right and left, then go across fast. Don’t play football on the road .we can tell our parents not to drink before they drive, not to run through red lights, not to talk and laugh while driving etc.

We can say cars are coming into our life, but only when everybody thinks traffic safety is everybody's business can we be safe driving on roads and walking on sidewalks.
