Seat Belts
Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation concerning the use of seat belts.
In European countries, this regulation has been applied for a long time. However, this new
regulation has become controversial and is an interesting topic to discuss. Here are some of
the arguments.
The use of seat belts has been proven to reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident. Seat
belt has become a standard component in cars. The research shows that most car accident will
cause an injury to the head. Frequently, drivers or the passengers driving without seat belts
die because of this. By wearing the seat belts, the injury will not happen since belts restrain
our body on the car seat when the accident happens.
Unfortunately, many cars, especially the old ones, don’t have seat belts. This is because the
traffic conditions in the past were unlike the recent traffic conditions. The designer of old cars
didn’t consider a seat belt as an important part. Besides, the drivers wearing the seat belt will
think that they are completely safe, so they may drive carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but
how about safety of others?
The seat belt is only one of the ways to reduce the risk of car accidents. It doesn’t mean that
we are completely safe. In short, our safety depends on ourselves.

Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for
sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which
is why you can look through them.
Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made by a
chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For
example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attract animals they like to eat.
Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water.
Jellyfish are found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical seas and
in icy waters near the North and South poles.
