    Waves (波浪) are beautiful to look at, buthuge waves are greatly harmful to ships at sea, as well as houses and buildingsnear the seaside. What causes waves? Most waves are caused by winds' blowingover the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to riseand the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves intobigger and bigger ones.

    The sizeof a wave is decided by how strong the wind is, how long it blows, and howlarge the body of the water is. In a smallbay, big waves will neverbuild up. But at sea the wind can build up big, powerful waves.

    It isbelieved that the height of a wave (in metres) will usually be no more thanone-tenth of the wind's speed (in kilometres). In other words, when the wind isblowing at 120 kilometers an hour, most waves will be 12 meters high or less.Of course, some waves may came together to form big waves that are much higher.

    When it comes to fire, you need to distinguish the root of the fire and find out security exits. Then you should crawl (爬行) on the floor. Do not use elevators or any electronic equipment.

    Another accident is drowning. Every summer, about 5,000 kids die because of swimming alone in the river or the lake. Experts say that we have the more possibilities of drowning if we struggle as possible as we can. So what we should do is: " " The summer holiday is coming. My dear friend, take care of yourself.

    In a word, all kinds of accidents will happen in our daily life. We should believe that the rate of danger can be minimized and we can not only get a chance to save ourselves but also help others if we learn about how to deal with them in the first place.
