2. Apart from road signs，what else do you think can contribute to safety in driving？
Road Signs
Did you ever drive down a long，deserted，narrow，country road and unexpectedly come upon construction which closed the road？ Doesn？？t this seem to happen when you are in a hurry to get somewhere？ So what do you do？ Well，you might turn around and drive too fast. So，what was going to be a nice day turns into a stressful day. The same thing can happen at the mine when one of the main haulage roads ( 运 输道) is blocked off and there is no warning sign posted at a logical detour point ( 绕道处) .
It only takes a little extra time to post a sign which will save someone？？s time and could avert ( 避免) an accident. In addition，when posting road-closed barriers ( 设置路障时) ，think about visibility and the stopping distance of the largest vehicle at the mine.
Ⅲ. Role -playin g
The following picture presents us with a vivid scene of a car accident. The driver is trying to cover up his offense with an excuse that the victim deserves a public service award for his devoted service.
Suggested expression s：

Role play this situation. One plays the driver，another plays the policeman and the third plays the supposed windscreen washer.
