After a long and hard winter in Iowa,wouldn’t you like to tet away from the snow and go to the beach? If you have the time,Iknow the place. I am talking about the best stretches of white sand beaches in the whole of Southeast Asia. I know you have
experienced beaches in the U.S.,but the beaches near my home are more awesome than Fort Lauderdale and Malibu combined.Just picture this:white hot sand,so white that you need to wear sunglasses to guard against the glare, and so hot that your bare feet will jump. The temperature is always in the nineties,but the cool gentle wind from the sea will keep you hate crowded beaches. I know you love to surf（冲浪运动）,and that you hate crowded beaches.This beach gets the best waves in the world for surfing; you will be amazed at how tall the waves get. Best of all, you will be the only person surfing because the Vietnamese don’t surf. Of course, there will be just a few beartiful girls to watch you, and they will be excited with your skills.One last thing:it is cheap to come to my country, and while you are here,you will stay with my family and it’s free.Just imagine yuourself,surfing along the endless beach under the hot sun.

Accidents are caused,they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see:an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach,some ice on the road.But more often than not
there is a chain of events leading up to the disaster—feelings of bitter disappointment, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is ,a sort of attack on oneself.
Road accidents,for example,happen frequently after a family quarrel,and we all know people who are likely to have accidents, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.
Yet this should not make us think that accidents happen to other people. By
definition,an accident is something you cannot see in advance or avoid, and the idea which used to be generally accepted, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a small number of careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics（保险公司提供的数据）.These show that most accidents are carsed by ordinary drivers in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.
It is not always clear,either,what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident.For instance,the law requires all gactories to take safety precautions（预防措施）and most companies have sagety committees to make sur the law is observed, but still,every day in Britain ,some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. Thes accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and tiredness, boredom or worry are possible factors（因素）.Doctors who work in factories gave found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level,three times the normal risk of accidents at work.
