Examples of starting

Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia1. Question and Answer

Why do road accidents happen? Are the majority of accidents in Malaysia caused by the careless driver or are they caused by something that the driver cannot control? Studies by the Road Transport Department show that more than 90 per cent of accidents are caused by the carelessness of the driver.

Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia2. Use newspaper headlines

Four killed in car-bus collisionSix die as car plunges into ravineBaby killed, two injured in crash

Not a single day passes without headlines like these appearing in our newspapers. Our newspapers are filled with road accidents statistics and fatalities. Efforts are being taken by the authorities to reduce the number of accidents.

Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia3. Use dialogue

“I bet I can ride faster than you”, said Mat to his friend, Harris.“Okay. I’ll race you to the bridge. Whoever gets there first is the winner”, replied Harris.The stupidity of the situation hits us. It is a race without cause. It is a blind challenge. It shows immaturity on the part of the boys. Adults too, are caught in same situations. Instead of saying “no”, they give in to such challenges. Such negative mentality should be erased in the minds of drivers to reduce road accidents.

Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia4. Give an opinion

Malaysian drivers are selfish and inconsiderate. They do not care about road safety. Once they are on the road, they break every traffic rule, they speed and behave like kings of the road.

Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia5. Give a quotation

“It saddens me to see that the number of road accidents in constantly on the rise. Each year sees an increase in the number of accidents especially during the festive season.” These are the words of our Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Topic: Road Accidents in Malaysia6. State a fact about the topic

The number of accidents is constantly on the rise. From a mere 73,250 accidents in 2009, the number of accidents has increased to 215,987 in 2013. This almost three-fold increase in the number of accidents is shocking. It calls for urgent measures.
