This is just the body of the letter directed to the editor of a diary from the Sunshine Coast. about the following article: http://www.thedaily.com.au/news/2009/aug/23/too-many-deaths-our-roads/ It was easy for me to write from the perspective of a resident of the zone for two reasons: I lived there for a few months and also the subject of the article is quite universal.
(It still lacks the layout, I will fix it later)
I think that it is an excellent effort taking into people’s attention tragedies like these. It is important to make the people consider that the deaths may not be just occasioned by reckless drivers but by reckless pedestrians as well. Everybody should do his own part in the effort to stop accidents. People should be aware that it is easy to lose your life in just a mere distraction. Driving carefully should be an everyday action, and not just a reaction to the death of an anonymous person who we saw in our way home. Most of the people in this world won’t care about this kind of things until it happens to them. Then, they will raise an outcry against the people who they think are the guilty ones. But I think that almost each one of those persons related to accidents are guilty in some way or another, for not taking into account their and others security. And you may think that I’m saying this because I haven’t lost anybody. But I know the grief of loosing somebody and I think that we as a society need to stop this, or nobody will.
The style and vocabulary clearly expresses your point of view. Well done.
ResponderEliminarJust few minor details:
lose lost lost losing (that's the verb)
Loose (adjective meaning free or not tight.
society is considered singular, so it follows the rules of that particular group: society needs.
