Write about the following topic:

　　Action movies with spectacular car chases are very popular with young   people. it is often said that these sorts of movies lead to an increase in car   accidents among young drivers as they try to copy what they have seen in the   films.

　　Do you agree that such movies increase the amount of bad driving? What can   be done to encourage young people to drive more safely?

　　Model Answer:

　　Movies tend to have a very large influence on young people who are   influenced both by what they see and hear. Because this is the case, it is true   that car chases in action movies tend to lead to an increase in the number of   car accidents among young drivers because they try to copy what they have seen   in the films. They drive too fast and take unnecessary risks and the difficulty   is that most young people lack the skills and experience to do this.

　　There are a variety of ways in which young people can be encouraged to   practise safer driving habits. Firstly, the Government should launch a safe   driving campaign to convey the fact that driving safely is not uncool. In   effect, it should be cool to stay alive and healthy! Secondly, every movie   should make it clear that dangerous car chases are undertaken only in strict   safety conditions with experienced drivers, and often special movie-making   tricks are used to enhance the action. Thirdly, young people should be forced to   take safe driving courses every year for the first five years that they have   their driver's licence. In this way, they are forced to perfect their driving   skills or their licence will be taken away.

　　Finally, as part of this course, young drivers should go to hospitals and   witness the effects of poor or dangerous driving on other people. When they see   hospitalised people whose lives have been destroyed due to stupid risk-taking,   they will surely change their minds about whether it is cool to copy action   heroes and drive fast.
