Then they will be able to tell people to take precautionary measures. Thus lives can he saved and damage can be lessened.实际上，科学家们能正确地预报什么时候，什么地方地震会发生，然后他们会告诉人们预防措施。于是生命不会被救起和损伤会减轻

记一次车祸 A Accident
Today is Sunday. I visited my uncle with my father in the morning. In a traffic light, we saw a car accident. We were waiting for the traffic light. Suddenly, a motorbike ran the red light and crashed with a car. Luckily, the motor driver slowed down the speed and he just fell down from his motor. He could stand up by himself. But this accident caused a traffic jamSiVNKom. I hope drivers can drive under traffic rules.
今天是星期天。早上我和爸爸去看望叔叔，在红绿灯处我们目睹了一起交通事故。当时我们正在等红绿灯，突然一辆摩托车闯红灯和一辆汽车相撞。幸运的是摩托车司机减速了只是从摩托车上摔下来。他还能自己站起来，但是这起事故引起了交通堵塞。我希望司机们能够遵守交通规则行驶。

a car accident
「一场车祸」　　第一篇：　　a car accident of which i was the victim occurred a few months ago at hoping road and chiho road. the memory of that harrowing experience can still make my heart go pit-a-pat. one day when crossing a street intersection i was suddenly enthralled by the sight of a beautiful girl in miniskirt walking on the sidewalk. for a moment i was oblivious of the onrushing traffic then shrills of alarm arose and i woke up from my daydream with a start. but it was too late, i was hurtled to the ground by a passing car. i can't think why i was so careless at that point. what a fool i was to cross a busy intersection when i was dangerously distracted by the sight of an attractive girl. if only such a terrible experience had never happened to me! i wish i could see her agawww.souquanme.comin, but certainly not at a street intersection and not when i was behaving like a fool.　　第二篇：　　whenever i look in the mirror and see the scar on my face i remember that cad accident. i t was a dirk night. i had a very good time at a marvelous birthday party thrown for a friend of mine. we ate and drank and danced happily. i thought i had drunk too much to drive home; however, when the party was over, i jumped into my car and drove away lightheartedly. there were only a few cars on the highway, so i drove faster and faster. suddenly i screamed and fell unconscious. the next thing i knew was that i was in a hospital, and a few days later when i checked out i found my face was indelibly scarred. i was so put out by the accident. i wish it hadn't happened. why on earth didn't i drive more slowly? i f only i hadn't drunk so much and what a fool i was to have a drunken driving. that accident has surely taught me a lesson and i think it is not only a good lesson but also an unforgettable experience.　　第三篇：　　on a holiday morning i drove home from my uncle's. the streets were as usual not crowded. i enjoyed a leisurely driving. nearing a crossroads, i saw the yellow traffic light flashing off and on. a highway bus was running toward me, but it was still a safe distance away. i drove on. then, to my horror, i was aware that t搜趣网he big bus was rushing head-on to me. i swerved my car and applied the brake, but it was too late. i heard a loud crash when the bus sideswiped the right door of my car in the middle of the street. at the sight of the big bus standing close bwww.souquanme.comy, i was rather frightened. why on earth didn't i stop and wait till it passed? i should have remembered that caution is all that matters in safe driving. the bus driver seemed to give me a warning; a small car should yield its right of way to a bigger one. what a fool i was to put myself at the mercy of a big bus! i have learned that it is better to give way to a big bus than to take a chance with the dubious considerateness of its driver and be ruined. if only my small car were as strongly built as a tank!　　第四篇：　　at the roundabout of the west-gate mall in taipei have you ever seen a high hoarding that shows in numerical figures the incidence of traffic accidents registered daily in taipei? it is of course a warning to car drivers. i used to see those figures, however, with nonchalance. although i had a motorbike and rode it to work everyday, most to the time i rode it carefully, and only once in a while i sped on the road for fear of being late to work for a date. a car accident would never victimize me, i thought. i was always lucky. but, alas, i eventually bSiVNKomecame the victim of a car accident which forced me to lie in a hospital for about fourteen months and become a news-maker in spite of myself. that day a bus was running in my direction and not far from it was bus stop. i was so na?ve as to think that the bus driver would pay heed to me. no sooner and i seen that bus approaching me than i sensed i was hurled off my motorbike. when i woke up feeling pain and soreness from head to toe, a nurse told me that i was in a critical condition upon arrival at the hospital and that i was lucky because the doctors decided to operate on me instantly. now i am alive and well, though i have ugly scars all over my body as a result of eight operations and a maimed leg to boot. i have paid really much too much for a careless driver.　　第五篇：　　whenever i start my car i cannot help recalling a nightmarish experience. that experience was connected with a car accident in which i nearly got killed. the accident came a few months ago when i was turning the corner of a hillside within a short distance of my home. having driven non-stop for many hours, i was clean done in; so i stopped my car and opened the door to get out to take a breather. i was so absorbed in the thought that i would soon see my folks after a long absence that i did not pay attention things around me. then, just as i got off the car, something hit me and i fell and lay in a puddle of blood. despite my blurred vision i saw a motorcycle pass by at full speed. then i became unconscious. when i woke up i found myself in a hospital. my leg, forehead and elbows were all bound up in white bandage. furthermore, many places on my body were bruised. i had been hospitalized for fourteen days. i can't think why i was so careless at that point; had i been more careful i would have avoided that terrible accident. if only such a harrowing experience had never happened! but i think i have learned a lesson from it. we chinese have a saying, "one who has narrowly escaped a tremendous disaster will live happily ever after." i hope such prediction will come true soon.

Yesterday I saw a car accident when I went to school. It was early in the morning. I got to the gate of my school. Suddenly, I heard the sound of car breaking and screaming. Then, I saw a little boy fall down. The car driver got off his car immediately and checked out the little boy’s situation. Luckily, the boy was not serious and he could stand up under the help of driver. But the driver also decided to send him to hospital and made sure he is OK. I must be more careful ever after.

At 7:15 in the morning on Feb. 08, 2000, I saw a car accident with my own eyes. I was on the W. Park Road at that time. When I was crossing the road, I saw a car, the color of which is yellow. The number of its plate is AC814. The car was turning right at the 3rd street. The traffic light was red, and there is a sign says no turn on red on hanging beside the traffic lights. The card didn't stop and hit an old man. Everyone was shocked. The old man can not move, but could only lying on the ground. About two minutes later, I stopped a passing car and took the old man to the nearest hospital. Li Hua
2000年2月08年,早上7点15分,我亲眼看到了一场车祸。我在w .公园路。当我过马路时,我看见一辆车,颜色是黄色的。板的数量是AC814。汽车在第三大街右转。交通灯是红色的,还有一个标志说没有打开红色挂在红绿灯旁边。这张卡没有停止,撞到一位老人。每个人都很震惊。老人可以不动,但只能躺在地上。大约两分钟后,我停止一辆驶过的车,把老人送到了最近的医院。李华
