Top tips for pedestrian safety
Teach your children to hold hands with an adult whenever they go out.
Always use a zebra crossing when one is available and teach children that these are the safest places to cross.
Teach children that it’s still important to stop, look and listen at a zebra crossing.
Teach children always to stop at the kerb( lề đường) and look and listen for traffic (a third of children injured on roads said that they didn’t stop before stepping off the kerb and many said they didn’t look).
Never use your mobile phone while crossing roads.
Children learn to make decisions about crossing the road and parents gradually let them take a lead when you are crossing together.
As children get older, practise routes with them before they walk alone.
Top tips for cycling
Always encourage children to wear a cycle helmet when they are on their bikes, and set a good example by wearing one yourself.
Children need to be able to judge speed and distance accurately before they cycle on public roads. They need to take lessons on cycling in order to travel more widely on their bikes.
Make sure children wear bright coloured clothing and fluorescent items whenever they are cycling on the road. And if they are cycling in the dark, they will need lights on their bikes and reflective items too. And of course, make sure you do this yourself, to set a good example.

Exercise 14: Read the passage, and then answer the questions.
My favourite actors
I like a lot of different actors, but my real favourites are Daniel Craig and Halle Berry.
Daniel Craig is British and he’s a really talented actor. He’s been in a lot of different kinds of films including action adventure, science fiction, and romantic drama, but he always gives an excellent performance. He was brilliant in Tomb Raider as Alex West, but my favourite film is Casino Royale. I think Daniel Craig is a fantastic James Bond.
Halle Berry is American. She was a model, but then decided to become an actress. I like her because she’s beautiful. She’s a good actress and I think she has a great sense of humour. I’m not keen on some of her films, such as Catwoman, but her other films are excellent. My favourite is X-Men which is a science fiction film. She plays the main character Storm, who has the ability to change the weather.
Daniel Craig and Halle Berry are both entertaining and talented actors. I love watching their films.
