fellow students cross the road correctly and safely on their way to and from school.
When you go out alone; however, what is the best way to ( 4 ) the road ? First, you must find a safe place to cross.
These may be subways, footbridges, zebra or green man crossings. Of course, it is safest to be directed ( 5 ) a policeman. Then
you should stand on the pavement where you can see clearly all the directions, look round for the traffic and listen. If a car ( 6 )
coming, you ought to let it pass. When there is no ( 7 ) near, walk straight across the road. Do not run as you may trip!
Roads are dangerous. However, if everyone takes care when crossing the road, there will be fewer traffic ( 8 ). Our
transport system will then become safer and more efficient.
