The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It 31 me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can’t 32 why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those 33 situations in which someone doesn’t even 34 that the light is red, and just keeps going; that is how many accidents happen. All these situations make me 35 about the purpose of traffic lights.
However, it’s even more 36 to imagine letting people make their own 37 at a crowded traffic crossing. Who decides who goes next? 38 I guess I do like the idea of a system to 39 traffic. And I also do my best to 40 the traffic signals: to go, to be 41 , and to stop when I’m supposed to.
It occurs to me that my 42 have done much the same for me in terms of 43 me how to live. They have given me many 44 lights: to live in harmony with others to help others, to live with 45 and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my 46 doesn’t goastray(走入歧途): to watch my temper, and to control my desires. And there have been some yellow lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, to 47 school regularly and work hard.
If I obey these signals, my life will be as 48 as it can. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking 49 the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the “life 50 ” given me by my parents.

That means more methane because 28 will be more burning of fossil fuels, 29 more agriculture. Now you’re probably thinking, “Wait a minute, you said agriculture is going to be damaged by Global Warming, but 30 you’re saying agriculture is going to help cause Global Warming?” Well, have you 31 been in a barn filled with animals and you smell something 32 ? You re 33 methane. Another source of methane is manure. Because more food is needed we have to raise food. Animals like cows are a source of food which means more manure and methane. Another problem 34 the increasing population is 35 . More people means more cars, and more cares means more pollution. Also, many people have more than one car.
Since CO2 contributes to global warming, the increase in population makes the problem worse because we breathe out CO2. 36 , the trees that change our CO2 to oxygen are being demolished because we’re using the land that we cut the trees down from as property 37 our homes and buildings. We are not replacing the trees(an important part of our ecosystem), so we are 38 taking 39 of our natural resources and giving nothing back in 40 .

On the first day, all students went to 33 assembly. I sat next to a girl whose name was Diane. We 34 became best friends. During 35 , the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to 36 respect from the school was to work hard and 37 high grades. This sounded like my school in China.
My English improved a lot as I used English every day. I usually went to the Computer Club at lunch time, so I 38 e-mail my family and friends back home 39 free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. 40 was really fun as I learned how to buy, prepare and cook food.
