Causes of Road Accident

The dictionary defines accident as an unexpected and undesirable event. Road accident is a global tragedy with ever-rising trend. In Malaysia it represents a major public problem because of high number of victims involved and also the seriousness of the consequences for the victim themselves and their families as well.
There are many causes of road accident. The main cause is the driver’s behavior. They like to drive like crazy people. They drive with high speed. They mostly do not comply with road rules and speed limits are set.
          The second factor is the structure of the road. Most roads in the area we were not flat and hollow. This is because many large trucks through the area. Motorists may blame roadway design for accident.
          Then, the third factor of road accident is weather. Inclement weather, including heavy rain, hail, snowstorms, ice, high winds and fog can make driving more difficult. You'll need more time to stop and may have trouble seeing the road clearly, so when the weather gets bad be sure to leave extra room between the cars in front of you and slow down. If necessary, pull off the road to a rest stop (or to the side of the road, well out of the traffic lanes) until conditions improve.

          As conclusion, we as road user should be more careful while using the road. Or otherwise we will become victim in the road accident.

Raising Children

Raising children without parenting skills can create a lot of problem. It can make a children misunderstand that their parents did not love them.
First skill that all parents need during raising children is discipline. Discipline is important. But a parents need to know what type of discipline is suitable to children depends on their age. A discipline for 2 years-old might not effective for 10 years-old or the teenagers.
Second skill is education. The parents responsibility to teach a children about morals and value. Parents cannot expect schools and teachers only to teach children. But parents should also play a role.
Third skill is gave them a lot of love.

movie review 2

          The movie that I already watched is The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This movie is the third installment in The Chronicles of Narnia Series after The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
          I think this movie is the best fantasy and adventure film after Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows Part 1 movie. The main reason for me to say so because I really like adventure and fantasy movie.
          The second reason why I like this movie because I likes the actor and actress. The actor, Prince Caspian is so handsome guy. This character played by Ben Barnes. He is the King of Lone Island. The actress that I like the most is Lucy and his eldest sister, Susan. But in this movie, Susan not appeared a lot instead Lucy, his younger sister.
          The other reason is the chronology or plot of the story is interesting. The first scene is at Lucy and Edmund’s cousin house. This part is at real life. But after that the fantasy life is beginning. The story was become interesting until the end.
          Fantasy and adventure movie make me enjoy when I watched it. Certain people didn’t like to watch fantasy movie or film because for them, this kind of film is nonsense. But for me, this type of movie can release my tension for a while.

Vietnamese are very concern about two traditional family obligations, which is to take care for their parents in their old age and worship them after death. So that in each Vietnamese family has altar on which there are the picture of their parents. Family member worship their ancestor, because they think parents after death will go to live in another world and this altar is the place where the ancestors’ soul live in. so every day, Vietnamese not only lay the table for meal but they also lay the food on the altar.

Teaching is an adventurous career

            Many people thought that being a teacher is a simple job compared with other work. This is because they thought when all of a student in a holiday, all of a teacher also holiday.

            Actually, teaching is an adventurous career. The first factor is they have to adapt with new situations. teachers should be prepared every day, especially the provision of teaching materials. The teaching material is important for all teachers because they need to make a report about what they are teaching in the class.

            The second factor why teaching is an adventurous career because teachers need to face many types of student. Students have a wide range of behavior that is sometimes difficult for teachers to control. So, a teacher need to understands students’ behaviour by teaching them a little bit about the ethics in the face of teachers.

            The third factor why teaching is an adventurous career because teaching has a lot of challenges. those who wish to become teachers need to enter the institution that we call as ‘maktab’. All of teacher need to training at there before they become a teacher. After that, they will be send to school to become a practical teacher for 6 month.

            As the conclusion, to become a teacher is an adventurous career. Those who want to become a teacher need to prepare their self mentally and physically.
