Oral Picture: At the road side Setting: The road side

This picture depicts a scene at the road side, there are some people crossing the road to the next pavement while some people are driving on the road safely. There are students making their way to school and some are riding their bicycles on the road.
Scenario 1 – Normal
There is a young girl crossing the road safely when the green man appeared on the traffic light. There is a wide smile spread across her face. She is also holding the hand of an older lady who is walking with a walking stick. The driver stopping his car next to them seems to be quite happy too.
Personal Response
Personally, I feel that we need to abide by the safety rules when crossing the road so that we can ensure the safety of ourselves or others around us. If we are twelve years and below, we should always hold the hands of an older adult so as to make sure we are taken care of properly.
If we do not abide by the safety rules when we cross the road, we might just get knocked down by any passing vehicle and sustain severe injuries. That would really cause a great commotion.
Scenario 2 – Wrong & Consequence
There is a girl crossing the road. It seems that she had drooped one of her books and has reached down to take it. She seems totally petrified when she saw a young looking boy wearing a striped t-shirt riding his bicycle towards her direction.
Personal Response
In my opinion, I feel that the boy riding the bicycle is wrong as the traffic light specifically showed the red man but he continued to ride his bicycle at a high speed.
He should have spared a thought for the people crossing the road. He basically should have some consideration. Take this girl for instance. If he had knocked into the girl, she would have gotten into an accident and suffer many serious injuries.
If I was that inconsiderate boy, I would slow down at least five metres before the traffic light to ensure that I do not bang into pedestrian crossing the road.
Conclusion
When we are crossing then road, we must learn to abide by the rules and spare a thought for the feeling of others so as to ensure the safety of ourselves and to make Singapore a safe country to be in.
