Obey the rules

Before I came to Singapore, I had read a lot of introductions of this country. The thing which most impressed me was that people here had a high quality on their characters. They tried their best to keep the country clean, and didn’t break the traffic rules. But when I came here, I found something not matched my impression. When the red light is on, sometimes there are some people cross the road. Rubbish can also be found at a bus stop. Though such things are so common in other countries, as a model country, we should do our best to improve the environment and obey the rules.

I read a piece of news last week, which said the government had done a survey recently. They put more police on some main roads such as the Orchard Road, the Vivo City to fine the people who littered around. At last, they had more than 80 bills while the number of bills was 30 at this time last year. It made a conclusion that people had less awareness about the environment. I don’t know why people litter around under such strict rules and such high fine. It’s just because they are lazy to throw it in a dustbin? But you know in Singapore it is quite easy to find a dustbin, so what we should do is just go towards it and throw the rubbish in. It is quite easy, isn’t it? Why don’t we walk a little longer and make the environment better? It’s only a few steps to you. The environment is like our home, so everyone should do our best to keep home clean and tidy.

When we have lessons in LT31, the professor told us he had received some emails from the drivers in which they explained there were so many SM2 and SM3 students crossed the road obeying the traffic rules. I felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, but this was true. When class was over, almost all the students were jay-walking to catch buses and made traffic there mass. We are abroad now, so what we do reflects the behavior we have in our motherland. We are representations of our great China so we should care about our behaviors. If we do something lack of quality, then people from other countries may think bad of China. But this is not the most important thing. What matters most is it is too dangerous to cross the road without using a zebra crossing or waiting for the green light on. In Singapore, speed of cars is very high. During we cross the road, we can easily be hit by a car because the drivers don’t have time to stop their cars in time under such a high speed. And because you don’t obey the rules, you should be in all responsibilities. You have to pay a lot to repairer the car, and use your own money to cure yourself. What’s worse, you may even lose your life! But if it is before a zebra crossing, drivers will stop to let you go first. Like dustbins, it is easy to find a zebra crossing or undergo in Singapore. Don’t be so lazy, please walk longer to cross the road in a safe way. We don’t want to go back to China just because a traffic accident isn’t it.? It’s so satirical.

We are studying abroad now. Who are the people care about us most in this world? Our parents. They don’t want us to have any accident, and we are the whole world in their eyes. So we are not study only for ourselves, also for our families. Be responsible to your own and your family. The best way to do it is obey the rules.
