Incident Report -- For Peter's Homework

INCIDENT REPORT

Eliana Ramirez, a 8 months pregnant woman, fell down to the ground in front of office building of Parkway Forest Community at 8: 45am on February 2nd, 2010. At that time she and I were walking on the sidewalk. Because there was a heavy snowfall during the last night, the sidewalk was very slippery. Eliana slipped and fell forward on her stomach. She was gasping for air for about 20 seconds and began to feel pain. Marc Brenna, a nice lady who come from the Accounting Department, was walking by. Marc saw what happened and called 911 immediately. Then paramedics came 3 minutes later and took Eliana to North York General Hospital. The paramedics said she might be in labour. Weather is getting worse. Everybody should watch his step when walking outside.

Buying a Car -- For Peter's Homework

BUYING A CAR

Many people like cars maybe because they don't like TTC, or maybe because they don't like walking. For whatever reasons, they just like cars. I like cars too.

Car is really important to me. I want to use a car for the following reasons. Firstly, owing a car is more convenient for me to go shopping. Going shopping without a car is not easy when the weather is getting bad. Secondly, I am going to use a car to expand the life circle, e.g. visiting  new friends, visiting new places, etc. Thirdly, I want to use a car to prepare for going school to continue my education and improve my English as well.

When it comes to buying a car, we need to make a decision of what type of cars we like because there are a lots cars from different companies. I personally prefer van to other type of cars. I think van is more suitable to my family. It has more space than other cars do. I can use van not only for shopping, but also for travelling or possible future relocating.

Cars usually cost family much money because you pay not only cars themselves, you have to pay insurance and gasoline as well. I am planning to buy a cheapest new van. And a second-hand one is aslo okay for me although I like new car better.

Where is good place to buy a car? Some people like buying from Internet. In my opinion, I don't think buying online is safe way. I prefer buying a car directly from the dealer. I think it is a safer and I can get a short period of driving test experience.

When we decide to by a car, it is unavoidable to make a payment. I am going to use my credit card. Does my credit card have enough credit to buy a new van? I don't believe it. But it is easy to handle after I depoist some money into my account first.

In short, I want to buy a van. I am going to buy it from the dealer. I will choose credit card to pay it.
