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. But some parents misunderstand that love by giving them a lot of money and always meet the wishes of their children regardless of whether or not the desire for them.

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.
