Correction

Several days ago, I didn’t have free time anymore and I was as busy as a bee with work. Fortunately, that ended yesterday. But this morning, I was scared by an accident. The bus I was riding almost ploughed into an old man who was crossing the road. I flew forward suddenly when the driver hit the brakes. Well, I’m alright but, I have to say that “safety begins with everyone.
