That afternoon, I was getting ready to go home after work. The weather suddenly became bad. It started to get windy and rain lightly. There were many pedestrians on the road, and traffic was not smooth. As I walked along the street and saw the ground was wet, I reminded myself to be careful. At a crossroads, a car suddenly stopped, and I almost hit it. Luckily, the driver warned me in time. I felt nervous and a little scared afterward. As I continued walking, I noticed construction by the roadside. There were many materials and tools on the ground. Because the environment was messy, I slowed down and watched my steps carefully. A worker nearby said to me, “Be careful.” I nodded to thank him and passed slowly. Although I walked slowly, I felt that safety was the most important thing. On the way home, I thought about today’s experience and felt that many things in life require attention to safety. Whether on the road, at work, or at home, if you are not careful, danger may happen. Through this small event, I learned to stay calm first and then take action. Being careful is not only being responsible for yourself but also for others.
