“2 People, No Riding Bicycle” - Prefecture Traffic Security, Hiji branch, collected work from children

Oita Godo Newspaper (page 11, morning edition on July 17, 2008)

          More than 30 children were encouraged to write the motto about the rule that can not ride a bicycle with 2 people on it, be careful when across the road, and can not drive after drinking the alcohol on the postcard and hand it to the association.

         A fifth-year student wrote “Dear my grandmother, please be careful of the car when you walk on the road. Myself, I will not ride a bicycle with 2 people on it.” Another fifth-year student wrote “I and my family will not ride the bicycle in the very fast speed.”  And he said that “I will ride the bicycle properly”

Learning traffic rules through a picture book;

The Head of Prefecture Traffic Security came to distribute 670 picture books, “Mametatou and the traffic light”, to the students. The students can learn and remember traffic rules easier with this picture book.

Comment:  This is a very good idea to educate the traffic rules to the children. The children can enjoy the pictures, in the same time they also can learn the traffic rules. Learning by this way won’t make the children get bored. Moreover, it implants the children to love Reading!
