Fire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water, warm your houses, give light and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big fire can burn forests.
Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the fire time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells a man a very very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.
Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.
Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air.
Cover a fire with water, sand or in an emergency, with your coat or something else. This keeps air away from a fire and kills it.
Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.

Subject: Problem for traffic
Dear Mayor,
I am a student of No. 14 Middle School. Here I have something to tell you.
Besides my school there is a primary school. The gates of the two schools face the main road---- Jiefang Road. In rush hours, there are many cars, buses and bikes. The students have to cross the road to school. Crowds of people often thread their way through the moving cars and buses.
Some pupils are too young to go to school by themselves. So many parents have to go along with them to make sure that their children are safe.
This makes the street more crowded. I think the government should do something about it. Maybe an overpass can be built over the road. Otherwise accidents are sure to happen.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Wanglin
