第二段：说明如何防范意外发生，写作重点在于 what，以 4 至 6 句从驾驶者或用路人的角度提出防范方法，最后再呼吁所有人一起防范交通意外。

范文：

There are a lot of traffic accidents in Taiwan every year. Some people drive too fast and cause tragedies. Nine out of 10 car accidents result from speeding. Other people drive after drinking or when they are too tired, risking not only their own lives but also those of innocent people. Some accidents result from pedestrians jaywalking or otherwise violating traffic laws. In short, traffic violations cause a large number of injuries and deaths.

To prevent traffic accidents, there are several things we can do. First, all drivers and pedestrians should abide by the traffic laws. Pedestrians should obey the traffic signals and only cross the street at crosswalks. Drivers and riders should make sure to stay within the legal speed limits. While making turns or changing lanes, motorists should use their turn signals to warn the drivers or riders behind them. Also, people behind the wheel should never talk on their cell phones. To sum up, if more people followed the laws, we would have significantly fewer traffic accidents and fatalities.

　　在台湾每年都有许多交通事故发生。有些人因为开快车而酿成悲剧。10起车祸中有 9 起都是肇因于超速驾驶。还有些人酒后开车或疲劳驾驶，拿自己和无辜人们的性命在冒险。有些意外则是由于行人任意穿越马路或者违反交通法规所造成的。简言之，违反交通规则造成了许多伤亡。

　　要预防交通事故发生，有一些事情是我们可以做的。首先，所有的驾驶人和行人都应该遵守交通法规。行人应该遵守交通号志，过马路时一定要走行人穿越道。开车和骑车的人应该要确实遵守法定的行车速限。转弯或变换车道时，汽车驾驶人应该要使用方向灯来警告后方的驾驶或骑士。另外，开车时绝不可以讲手机。总而言之，只要多一些人守法，我们的交通意外事故和死亡人数就会减少很多。
