The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It  1me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can’t  2why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those  3situationsin which someone doesn’t even4that the light is red, and just keeps going; that is how many accidents happen. All these situations make me  5about the purpose of traffic lights.

However, it’s even more  6to imagine letting people make their own  7at a crowded traffic crossing. Who decides who goes next?  8I guess I do like the idea of a system to  9traffic. And I also do my best to  10the traffic signals: to go, to be11, and to stop when I’m supposed to.

It occurs to me that my  12have done much the same for me in terms of  13me how to live. They have given me many  14lights: to live in harmony with others to help others, to live with  15and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my  16doesn’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  17school regularly and work hard.

If I obey these signals, my life will be as  18as it can. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking  19the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the “life  20” given me by my parents.
