 * IGNORING SAFE DISTANCE** – the driver can cause accident with the driver in front and at the back of him such as bumper crack.Driver should know the exact bistance between each car to maintain the safety.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Canadian researchers have found that most drivers think they are better than others __behind__ the wheel. The team from Ottawa University interviewed nearly 400 __motorists__ of all ages. They all had to answer questions about what they thought of their own driving skills. The question __ability__ included how they react in different driving conditions, including __terrible__ weather and congested roads. They then had to rate the skills of others on the road. The __topics__ were very similar across all age ranges – almost all of those interviewed believed their driving __results__ was better than that of other drivers. Older drivers in the poll were more __confident__ in their ability than younger ones. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, males had the most confidence in their ability to __handle__ a car. ||   ||  //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">confident //

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lead researcher Sylvain Gagnon believes the __attitude__ found in his survey could be dangerous. Mr Gagnon said that __although__ confidence can be a good thing, it often has dangerous consequences. He __stated__: “If you think that you are a better driver, then perhaps you start behaving differently behind the wheel and do not __pay__ as much attention as you should. This might explain why young men __tend__ to have more accidents on the roads than other drivers.” It is time for government road safety departments to start taking research such as this more __seriously__. Traffic accidents are a huge killer throughout the world. Very few drivers really think about how __deadly__ their car can be in an accident. More __regulation__ is needed as people buy more and more cars. ||   ||  //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">seriously //

Madam Rose, IIUM Management, 53100 Gombak, SELANGOR 25th FEBRUARY 2010

Dear Madam, __ Unavailable Business Outlet in IIUM __

I writing this letter on behalf of myself and I would like to express about my problems and also some of my suggestion to fix those problems.

2.There are some of deficiencies faced by me about some of the business outlet or service which is not available to this campus and I really think it need to be put an attention.Firstly,there was sometime my watch has broken and i really need to repair it on the spot because the exam is around the corner at that time but i cannot find any watch shop available here.So,i need to go out and took a some of public transport to go to a watch shop.This action took so much time due to many reason including the transport that was not punctual.Thus,i would like to narrate my suggestion for you which is campus management should build or create one or more watch shop to student and put a reasonable charge.

3.Second,i am very interested in sport but there is no sport store here so i needed to go out to buy sport shoes,sport equipment and many more.Hence,I would like to give you an idea to build sports store.With this store,students do not have to go out of the campus to purchase any sports equipment. In conclusion,I hope you will put a consideration to execute my proposal to build watch shop and sports store as well.It will very pleasure to me if you can make it into real.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully, __ nuruljannah __ (NURULJANNAH BT YAACOB)
