Question 2
You are advised to spend about 25 minutes on this question.
Read the passage below carefully. Then answer the question that follows.
Statistics have often shown that most of the road users involved in road accidents are
schoolchildren.
There are several cases where accidents are caused by children cycling abreast and
playing along the road, crossing behind parked vehicles, carrying pillion riders, running
across the road without paying much attention to the traffic or alighting from moving buses.
Children should therefore be taught the importance of safety both at home and in schools.
Schools, especially, can do a lot to promote this through exhibitions. Regular demonstrations
by police can help instill a greater awareness of the importance of road safety.
Write a summary on the ways to reduce road accidents involving schoolchildren.
Your summary must:
not be more than 60 words, including the 10 words given below
be in continuous writing (not note form)
