C. Write a complaint letter to the head of your school to tell about riding bike to school
As you know nowsadays , many students go to school by bike. It is not necessary to say if they ride their bike in the law but they always break law. Many students ride their bike too fast and use one hand or no hands by riding. This leads to that the accidents may happen or make the other folk in danger. Some of them may be in danger, too. On the other hand, they often make a line four or five bicycles on the streets and they always talk or eat when riding, they don’t pay attention on traffic, so it really affects to people who are on the way with them. You think the principal should remind these students in front of all students and punish them heavily.
