The driver tried to overtake a car by the traffic lights but suddenly a motorbike appeared. He tried to avoid a collision and swerved to the right.

After helping the injured, the police questioned the bus driver and arrested him for his dangerous driving. The accident occurred in a highly congested area where the road is not very wide. There are shops on both sides and there is no sidewalk, so pedestrians have to use the road. Luckily, I was on the other side of the road.

I couldn t understand where it was coming from because I was still half asleep, but I found the sound very attractive. My parents in the other room, however, didn t find it so enjoyable. To them, it was just noise. To me, the vibrant sounds of the electric guitar were inspiring. Then I began to think what life would be like without music. Is it as important in our life as water is? There is not a moment in history when there were no musical instruments. This means that we can t live without music in the way we can t live without water. But, of course, it s not as critical as water. Yet water doesn t make us cry as when we listen to that special song that reminds us of a loved one or a special friend. It doesn t encourage us to dance even in the hardest times. In music, the rules aren t there to limit you; on the contrary, they are a base on which you can freely build your songs. Life isn t getting any easier but music stops it from getting any harder. If we lived without the vibrations of rhythmic sound, life would be dull and dry. (abridged and adapted) (accessed ) 14.
