例文
Danger is everywhere. If we’re not careful enough, accidents may happen to us.
Last Sunday, I was calling my friend when I was riding a bike in the park. Suddenly, I knocked into a tree and fell off the bike. I hurt my leg so badly that I could not move. I called my parents immediately and waited for them. Luckily, several passers-by sent me to the nearest hospital.
I learn a lesson from the accident. When we’re riding our bikes, pay attention all the time! Don’t talk on the mobile phone. Besides, don’t ride side by side with friends and stop at the red lights.
In order to stay away from danger, let’s learn to protect ourselves from accidents.
