Towards the end of year we had a project about persuasive essays. Everybody had to choose a topic they would enjoy writing about. I choose bus safety since i found some quite interesting news that currently happened in china. Here is what i wrote:

Public Bus Safety in China

When you hear the words //public bus safety//, what pops into your head? Most people would imagine a bus swooshing past, suddenly changing lanes then stopping unpredictably. But bus safety is not necessarily car accidents. It could be caused by just the tiniest action leading to an enormous tragedy. Bus safety could be improved if we knew what is dangerous, what to do if an accident happens and how to reduce the happening of accidents. Although many people think of bus safety as car accidents, many other surprising events could be part of it. Imagine if the buses did not go where it was supposed to go or had to stop in the middle of the ride. Many people would be late to work and stuck in the middle of nowhere for hours. 8 o’clock in the morning on May 3rd, a bus was forced to stop because Ms. Zhang claims that someone stole her phone and has not yet left the bus. After 30 minutes of nothing, a middle school student opened up the window and climbed out because she would soon be late if she didn’t leave. Lots of passengers also climbed out the window after the student did so that they would not be late for work. This action led some people who were riding a bicycle to run into a passenger climbing out the bus window. One person’s issue affected other people and caused them to be late to where they were supposed to be. Riding the bus is a privilege to everybody, but making safe choices is also very important. Suppose that you were a victim from a bus accident and the bus company didn’t take responsibility in the action. How would you feel? On November 16th, 2012 in Nanjing, a bus went to a sudden stop and Ms. Wang’s thoracolumbar was unfortunately injured. Irresponsibly, the bus company simply replied that public bus riding was an entitlement and they did not have to pay for the accident. Right after the accident happened, Ms. Wang went straight to the hospital; the injury was diagnosed as //T12 vertebral compression fractures//. To treat the damage, a thoracolumbar surgery took place a week after the accident. As soon as Ms. Wang’s body recovered, she commissioned the Forensic Disability Rating Agencies and classified Ms. Wang’s injury as nine. Last November, Ms. Wang successfully sued the company, claimed medical expenses, disability living allowance, disability compensation and others; a total of 350 thousand RMB. There were some rather particular accidents happening, and here’s how to prevent them from happening. On May 6th, 2014, thirty-six public buses in Tianjin adopted the Digital Police system. The system was made out of several cameras, a digital screen, a microphone, a loud speaker and a GPS. By simply pressing a button, the system will show the nearest way to the destination. Backing the bus is easier, the camera at the back will monitor what is going on behind and the digital screen will display the picture. Immediately the system contacts the police when something irregular happens. To let everybody know what is happening during an unusual event, the bus driver will speak into the microphone and the loud speakers would let every body hear. This system would prevent a lot of accident’s to happen, and will make bus riding safer. There are numerous bus safety accidents happening everyday. Once you know what bus safety is you will start to notice how important it is and how dangerous it can be. Bus safety is only a tiny part of our life; there are tons of safety issues in this world. Making sure to be safe all times on the bus may save you and other passengers. Together, if everybody in this world tries a little harder we can make a difference.

We had to complete a project about this book. There were multiple choices such as a puppet show, or rewriting in another character's P.O.V... I chose to do the 1000 word picture. Here's my presentation of my picture:

media type="custom" key="24207964" I loved to play with my family, But I hated to be shorter than my mom and dad. I laughed at hilarious TV shows, But I cried for hurting myself. I believed in fairy tales, But I didn’t believe in in ghosts. I feared “monsters”; of math, science, social studies and much more, But I enjoyed playing with my friends.
 * A ** s **F**uture **A**rrives…
 * Yesterday… **

I love to swim and skate, But I hate to get my teeth pulled out. I laughed at a careless mistake, But I cried for a wrong choice I’ve made. I believe to live my dreams, But I don’t believe the things that people teased me about. I fear bad grades that felt like acid rain, But I enjoy relaxing on the beach.
 * Today… **

I will love to go back in time to when I was young, But I will hate being old and fragile. I will laugh at the silly mistakes that I’ve made when I was young, But I will cry for me unable to play some tough sports. I will believe that I had the world most memorable memory, But I won’t believe in ‘happily ever after’. I will fear of being ill, But I’ll enjoy my childhood memories media type="custom" key="23699418"
