Activity 1
There are lots of issues are present in the area, specially near to the primary schools. Here,
high possibility is exist regarding road accidents as no one properly following the road signs,
drive fast beyond to the prescribed limits and doing inappropriate parking’s. In future, this might
cause some incident because small children are passing from the roads towards the way to their
school. The major issue is with motorists and cyclists who travel too fast on the roads by
ignoring all the instructions. They did not care about the road signs and safety of school
children’s. They just do their own things by ignoring the laws and its governing regulations. In
such high speed, not possible for anyone either motorist or cyclist to control themselves and
safeguard from the accident when someone passes in front of them. This will be life threatening
for both children and rider. There were lots of similar issues visible in past among other areas
where possible number of accidents happened due to high speed. Now, the time came when
authorities have to intervene in the matter and build the strict laws for the safety of society. In
this regard, they have to build speed breakers near to all the primary schools so able to control
speed which is prime instance of accidents. Also, in direction of adhering the road signs, speed
limit and parking instructions, there is need to fine all who are not following the same properly.
Activity 2
Work is important in life and become the prime part in living of good life. There is no
possibility to gain success and happiness without performing work or attaining desired
objectives. But, life is not limited only to the work. To live healthy life and become stress free,
people have to follow their hobbies and focus over enjoyment. This is the main concern for
which a person works hard in life. In the same direction, I loved to spend time on visiting new
places and exploring about their differentiated features. Recently, I visited to London eye and
amazed to saw the atmosphere. The one which called London eye is the giant observation wheel
on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is one of the tallest wheel in Europe and
one of the most popular tourist attraction in UK where more than 3.75 million visitors visited
annually. This wheel was opened for the public in year 2000. The structure of this wheel is 135
meters tall along with the diameter of 120 meters. This is considerable as highest public viewing
point in London. This provides an opportunity to see the whole city at one glance. This wheel
attached with total number of 32 capsules or cabins. All these have the capacity to hold 25
1

passengers individually. This wheel functions in such way that capsule remains upright as the
wheel turns. It rotates very slowly where takes the time period of an hour for completing just two
revolutions.
