Writing Test: Dialogue
Ques. 13. Write a dialogue between you and your friend (Rabeya) about the causes and preventive measures of frequent road accidents in your country.
A dialogue between myself (Rubi) and my friend (Rabeya) about the causes and preventive measures of frequent road accidents of our country.
Myself: Hello! How are you, Rabeya?
Rabeya: I’m fine.
Myself: You look so gloomy. Anything wrong?
Rabeya: Actually, my uncle died yesterday by road accident. So I am thinking about it.
Myself: Oh! Such sad news. Did you know that an accident took place before me last week?
Rabeya: Could you please tell me how it happened and did anyone get hurt?
Myself: Sure. Actually, a bus losing control pushed a microbus plying aside and the microbus driver hit some passers-by who were walking along the foot path. One of them was run over by that microbus and was bleeding seriously in his head. The other two were also seriously injured. All this happened because the microbus driver was driving desperately and the speed was so high.
Rabeya: Oh, no! It’s really very pathetic. But nowadays street accidents are increasing rapidly.
Myself: Right. I also saw how desperately the drivers drive without caring about the people who walk on the road.
Rabeya: Could you please tell me the causes of road accidents?
Myself: The causes of road accidents are reckless driving, brake failures of vehicles, over-taking of one vehicle by another, driving by unskilled drivers.
Rabeya: Would you please tell me another reason for a road accident and ways to stop it?
Myself: Sure. Over loading of vehicles is another reason for accidents. Another reason is violation of traffic rules. Even the police cannot control the traffic rule breakers. Sometimes pedestrians are crushed under the wheels of heavy vehicles. Many lives are nipped in the bud. Many families lose the only earning member. Many people become crippled.
Rabeya: But what about the drivers? They are careless about driving safely.
Myself: Sure. Most of the drivers are sub-conscious and they don’t follow the traffic rules properly. They also have an overtaking tendency which is one of the main causes of road accidents. They even have a tendency to talk over the phone while driving. So they should be reluctant to do this heinous act.
Rabeya: Could you please tell me about the preventive measures of road accidents taken by the government?
Myself: Actually, this problem can be solved by all out efforts from both the authority and the general mass. To do so, first our general people have to be made aware. The drivers have to be skilled and they also have to avoid their overtaking tendency. And the authorities should be more strict in enforcing the rules. And these steps must be taken immediately to prevent road accidents. The government should punish those who break traffic rules. The government should fix the lowest and highest speed also.
Rabeya: Great! If the government really takes those steps, then one day the rate of street accidents will decrease.
Myself: Well said! But people need to obey those rules first.
Rabeya: Thanks a lot. Today I have got clear ideas about the causes of road accident and preventive measures to stop it.
Myself: Welcome. Talk to you later on.
Rabeya: Bye! See you soon.
