Accidents are caused, they don’t just happen. The (S1) reason may be easy to see: an
(S2) overloaded tray, a shelf out of (S3) reach, a patch of ice on the (S4) road. But more often than not there is a (S5) chain of events leading up to the calamity — (S6) frustration, tiredness or just
bad (S7) temper — that show what the accident really is, a sort attack on oneself.
Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family row, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.
Yet this should not make us think that accidents happen to other people. (S8) By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.
(S9) It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, everyday in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment — noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are
possible factors which contribute to this. (S10) Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.

VI. Guided Writing
Fast Food in China
Nowadays, there are two kinds of fast food in China: Chinese-style fast food and western-style fast food. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Western fast food industry has a longer history and more advanced management than its Chinese counterpart. Ever since they entered the Chinese market, the manufacturers have been successfully adjusting their products to the taste of the Chinese people, which are now popular with the children and the young.
Chinese fast food, however, suits the Chinese taste better and finds general support from all ages. Successful examples are Yong He Bean Mild and Grandma’s Boiled Dumplings.
Unfortunately, some Chinese fast food restaurants are ill managed, the tables and chairs being greasy and dirty, flies humming around, and the waiters looking indifferent and impatient, which drives away quite a lot of customers.
As a Chinese, I take pride in our age-old colorful food culture. I hope our fast food industry will absorb the advanced experience of western countries, and get the upper hand in the fierce competition.
