New Lessons to Pave a Road to Safety

Teenagers are notoriously bad drivers, accounting for 10 times as many crashes as middle-aged ones. But short of keeping them off the road entirely, is there a way to make their driving safer — for them and for the rest of us?

New research suggests that there is. A nationally representative sample of more than 800 crashes involving teenage drivers shows that almost two-thirds were due not to reckless behavior like speeding or joyriding but to three novice driving mistakes: failing to scan the road, misjudging driving conditions, and becoming distracted.

Uncountable Nouns

I often confuse to classify wether a word is countable or uncountable. So, I browsed the related topic.

These are some examples of uncountable nouns:
music, art, love, happiness, advice, information, news, furniture, luggage, rice, sugar, butter, water, electricity, gas, power, money, currency.

These are comparasions between countable nouns and uncountable nouns which have same meaning:
some money; some dollars
song music; some songs
some luggage; some suitcases
some furniture; some tables
some electricity; some batteries
some wine; some bottles
some information; some reports
some advice; some tips
some travel; some journeys
some work; some jobs
some scenery; some views.

When my teacher told me Charles Darwin’s evolution theory, I simply reject it. Yes, I can’t imagine if this wonderful universe is created accidentally without Creator. Because this universe has its unique pattern and science has discovered some of its rules. It’s hard for me to accept the theory.

Hard, doesn’t mean that I know the matter well. One day I joined an event. There was one session of motivating speech delivered by Mr. Director. “Nothing is accidental,” he said. The topic became interesting when Mr. Director applied the rejection of evolution theory into daily life. According to his perspective, our life is part, a little part, of Creator’s grand design.
