1- a situation when you waited for a bus or a train 2- a challenging profession you know about

participate in any adventures or activities that may make me feel afraid. 
Besides, when it is about participating in any newer activities, I become 
thrilled. Actually, the fear that I had in my mind of being a failure had vanished 
forever. The rides and water slides have made me bold enough to face any 
such apparently fearsome real-life situations.

Model Answer 1:
Accidents are always unwanted and cause several damages to the lives and 
properties. There are different types of accidents and all of them are 
unwanted. In the past week, I heard about a road accident which took place 
right before my college. 
I heard from the witnesses that a small boy was crossing the road after his 
school. He was alone and his parents might have forgotten about his pick up 

---

 
from the school. It was a busy road of New Delhi and everyone is rushing to 
their respective places and thus they are driving in speed. As a result, it 
becomes impossible for almost all of the drivers to stop their vehicles amid in 
the rush. But fortunately, the bus driver somehow managed to stop his car and 
the little boy was slightly hit by the front part of the bus. 
The little boy was shocked at this event, after the witnesses’ statements. They 
also said that the little boy tried to cross the road but since he was alone, he 
could not. Besides, there were none other to help him crossing the road. So, 
whenever he found a gap, he started the run and unfortunately he could not 
reach on the road divider. He had to stop in the middle of the road when he 
saw a large bus was approaching to him from his right direction. So, when the 
bus managed to stop, the bumper of the bus hit the boy that took about two 
or three yards away from his position. Luckily the boy did not get hurt except 
some scratches on his hands and feet. His water bottle, made with glass, was 
broken and his books were scattered on the road. 
I was deeply shocked hearing about the accident. Something serious could 
have happened if the bus driver would not have stopped his bus at the right 
moment. The boy could have got killed as well or also might have got some 
serious injury like breaking bones of the body . But nothing has happened like 
that. Thanks to God. But I was surprised to hear the nobody helped the boy t 
cross the road which he told to the people who rescued him. The boy asked for 
help to people standing near his school as his parents were making late to take 
him home. So, being confused that his parents will not come to take him, he 
himself started the journey to home and became the accident victim. 
The accident was not that much dangerous but it could have been. The little 
boy has been saved for the expertise of the bus driver. Usually, it is really 
difficult to stop a bus with a great speed on the road and in that case, the bus 
may fall victim of any accident.
