Yesterday, on the way home from school, I saw an accident. A boy was run over by a taxi when he was riding his bicycle. The boy’s leg was broken and it was bleeding badly.

Some minutes later, an ambulance arrived and sent the boy to the hospital. Two policemen came to the scene immediately.

Nếu con người không biết ngăn chặn hành động phá hoại thiên nhiên và môi trường thì rất nguy hại. Đến một lúc nào đó, con người không còn có thể khai thác từ thiên nhiên để lấy của cải, vật chất nuôi sống chính mình. Môi trường sống của con người đang bị đe dọa: chất thải công nghiệp làm vấn đục các dòng sông, tai nạn của các con tàu chở dầu làm ô nhiễm hàng vạn cây số bờ biển các nước. Bầu khí quyển ngày càng bị các hợp chất của các-bon làm ô nhiễm, tầng ô-dôn bao bọc trái đất bị chọc thủng, các tia tử ngoại xâm nhập vào các dòng khí quyển xuống mặt đất. Nhiệt độ khí quyển ngày càng tăng, lượng nước biển sẽ dâng do sự tan băng ở Bắc và Nam cực của trái đất. Tất cả những điều đó là nguyên nhân phá hoại sự cân bằng sinh thái và đang là sự đe dọa khủng khiếp cho sự sống trên hành tinh của chúng ta.”
