 Riding
in a school bus with friends is
something we love to do. We can chitchat about the latest news or simply goof around with each other.
bus rides with friends are always
fun. However, recent news reports from China shocked and amazed many people across
the world. A photo of a Chinese school bus showed more than 30 students
riding in it. Was the bus big enough? No. The bus was in fact a small
van for six people. The school vans that we ride in normally carry very few students.
This meant that Chinese kids had to sit real close to each other.
And most likely some students
had to sit on a friend’s lap. Many netizens who saw the video
online said it is amazing how a small van can carry so many students.
And there were some angry netizens saying it is very unsafe. Surely, it is amazing to
see a small car carrying so many kids. However, it is very dangerous. If we think about
this carefully, there is a reason. China is very populated. Of course, China
is a big country. But, it is also filled with countless people. This means
there are many kids as well. Since China isn’t a very
wealthy country, their school
buses and vans are limited. It’s understandable that there
can’t be enough buses to carry everyone comfortably.
However, the Chinese schools must stop carrying so many students in
a small van. This is highly dangerous and it can
lead to serious accidents. Can you think
what would happen if such a van got
into an accident? Let’s hope a better environment will be provided for the Chinese
kids. |
