There are several reasons why traffic accidents happen, but three of them are the most
significant causes of traffic accidents, three of them stand out.
One of the main reasons of traffic accidents is careless drivers. Some drivers ignore the traffic
rules such as traffic lights, other warning signals. Moreover, they resist wearing seat belts. In
addition, some drivers drink alcohol while or before driving.
Another cause that results in traffic accidents is weather conditions. Drivers tend to lose
control of the car on icy, wet, or slippery roads, and this gives rise to traffic accidents.
Too many cars also lead to traffic accidents. When there is traffic, some drivers tend to
become nervous, and they become more error-prone. As a result of their mistakes, traffic accidents
happen.
To sum up, careless drivers, weather conditions, and too many cars cause traffic accidents.
Drivers should take all these into consideration if they do not want to have an accident.

Corona viruses are named for the spikes that protrude from their surfaces, resembling a crown
or the sun’s corona. They can infect both animals and people, and can cause illnesses of the
respiratory tract.
People infected with the virus produce tiny respiratory droplets when they breathe, talk, cough
or sneeze, allowing the virus to travel through the air.
Most respiratory droplets fall to the ground within a few feet. People who are in close contact
with those infected, particularly family members and health care workers, may catch the virus this
way.
When people don’t know they are infected, they’re up and about, going to work or the gym or
to religious services, and breathing on or near other people. Current estimates suggest that may
appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after being exposed to the virus.
The best thing you can do to avoid getting infected is to follow the same general guidelines
that experts recommend during flu season, because the coronavirus spreads in much the same
way. Wash your hands frequently throughout the day. Avoid touching your face, and maintain a
distance at least six feet from anyone who is coughing or sneezing, wearing a mask reduces the
risk of infecting others.

As social creatures, it is in our nature to look after other people. From our birth, we are in
need of other people’s assistance; in this case, our parents. We tend to give more help or assistance
to our family or close friends. Even so, we don’t usually assist only our close relatives. Sometimes,
those ‘other people’ are those we don’t even any blood relations with.
Offering or giving help is a noble act and a quality one must posses as a decent human. We
are living together, so we should help each other. If someone is asking for your help, and you are
able to help him or her (in one way or another), it is customary for you to help him or her.
Sometimes, people are so busy doing something in their lives that they forget to look around.
There are many people in your neighborhood who might need your help so don’t be ignorant and
like everthing’s. You don’t need a reason to help people. Therefore, next time when you see
someone is in desperate need of help, go rush to his or her assistance.
