The town I live in is about to
put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It 1me
of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go
faster. I also can’t 2why people don’t move when the traffic light
has turned green. Above all, there are those 3situationsin which
someone doesn’t even4that the light is red, and just keeps going; that is how
many accidents happen. All these situations make me 5about the
purpose of traffic lights.
However, it’s even more 6to
imagine letting people make their own 7at a crowded traffic
crossing. Who decides who goes next? 8I guess I do like the idea
of a system to 9traffic. And I also do my best to 10the
traffic signals: to go, to be11, and to stop when I’m supposed to.
It occurs to me that my 12have
done much the same for me in terms of 13me how to live. They have
given me many 14lights: to live in harmony with others to help
others, to live with 15and purpose. They have also given me some
red lights so that my 16doesn’t goastray(走入歧途): to watch my temper,
and to control my desires. And there have been some yellow lights: to watch how
much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, to 17school
regularly and work hard.
If I obey these signals, my life
will be as 18as it can. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the
traffic lights when I’m walking 19the street, I’m wise to pay
attention to the “life 20” given me by my parents.
