Dear editor (编辑),
     I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful peacocks
(孔雀) here.
     The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square. They are given food freely
by visitors. They usually throw food to them, and don't think about at all whether the food is right
or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the
visitors.
     I'm sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but don't
realize that they may be doing them harm.
     The visitors should be told that what they have done is very harmful to the birds, and this kind
of thing must be stopped from happening.
     Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us
every person, it is our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully. 
                                                                            Yours,
                                                                                Sun Yan

Can you prevent these accidents? Yes. Many accidents happen because people are careless. So be

       ●Don't stand on chairs. Many people may fall off chairs and hurt themselves.
       ●Keep the floor dry, and you won't slip(滑) or fall.
       ●Be away from matches. Even a cigarette can easily start a fire. Don't use water to put out fires.

       Police officers have two main jobs. They help keep people safe and they protect people's property
(财产). They do these things in many ways. They answer calls for help. Some may direct traffic.  Others
try to find out how an accident happened. They try to catch criminals(罪犯). Police officers are the people whom we turn to for help when we feel unsafe.  They are the people we call when we have problems.

people. Sometimes those bad people carry knives or guns. They can hurt or even kill the police.
       Besides answering calls, the police also help people find out missing persons. They will do all they
can to find the persons.  Also,  when the police see a speeding car,  they will stop it. If they do not,  the
driver of the speeding car may have an accident and hurt other people.  When the police see a person
trying to break into a house, they will stop and question the person. If they do not, the person may steal
things from the house.
       Some police officers patrol (巡逻) in cars or on motorbikes. Some patrol on foot, especially in parks or busy streets. Others even use boats. Most of them have received special training to do with sudden or
special accidents.
