第四节书面表达（满分10分）
There is no doubt that safety plays an important part in our daily life. So recently our school has carried out the Safety at School Activity to make our school a safe place to stay in.
The activity will make us know clearly that safety always comes first in our daily life when we stay at school or outside it. While doing sports, we ought to attach importance to the safety and avoid being hurt. Before crossing a road, we’re supposed to look around, making sure it is safe for us. And we should take care of our own valuables, otherwise we will suffer from loss. Furthermore, when we get into trouble with our classmates, we should remain calm and avoid any form of fighting, which may bring suffering and pain to us
As far as I’m concerned, all the students and teachers should be more careful in different situations and keep the Safety at School Activity in mind. Besides, we are supposed to obey the law and school rules wherever we are at any moment. Only in this way can we lead a safe and happy life.
