Number your tips from 1 to 7.  Pay attention to correct language.  Your summary may NOT be longer than 60 words. Count your words and write the total down at the end of your summary. CHILDREN ON MINIBUSES/TAXIS We always have to make sure that we are safe when using public transport such as minibuses or taxis. Here are some helpful tips to keep us safe. Ensure that you arrive on time and wait away from the road. When the vehicle arrives, don’t rush or push against other people. Find a seat quickly and remain seated while the vehicle is moving. Never kneel on your seat and make sure that your luggage does not take up a seat. Keep your bags out of the gangways and exits. It is very dangerous to distract the driver. Only speak to the driver when he/she is not driving or in case of an emergency. Don’t run around or play about in the moving vehicle. Never throw things around or out of the windows, as you can hurt other passengers or cause other drivers to have an accident. Wait until the vehicle has stopped completely before getting up to leave. Take all your belongings with you when you leave. If you have to return after getting off, take care as the driver may be pulling away. Wait for the vehicle to move away first before you cross the road after getting off. Always be polite towards the driver and other passengers. Always be SAFE!
