3.    Conclusion.

Your Suggestion.

An accident refers to something that happens with unexpected or unintended plan and that often damage something or kills someone. The types of accident include ship, airplane, a poisoned person, fire accident, and many others. I happened to witness motorcycle accident.

First of all, the cause of the accident was over speeding. The bodaboda rider who was riding this motorcycle failed to negotiate the sharp corner. He found himself in a trench.

Another cause of the accident as I learned later, the rider was drinking. He had taken about ten packets of kiroba konyagi. This made him mindless. In other words drunkenness was the causes of this accident.

I was told later by the eye witness that a minute before the accident the rider was on phone with perhaps a passenger who wanted to be picked up him.

Other people said that the “bodaboda” had its brake discs loose. This is why he failed to apply them when he was approaching the sharp corner.

The consequences of this accident is that the “bodaboda” rider had his shoulder broken, both limbs dismembered and one arm amputated I think, the doctor decided to teach him a lesson, for he spared his life.

In order to avoid any kind of accidents, all road users should be extra careful on the roads. The drivers and riders must possess licenses; attend driving schools and other traffic rules with ought coercion. Otherwise, pedestrians as well should avoid frivolous hebaviour on the roads in this context.

In addition to that dear listeners, cholera is caused by a habit of eating dirty things that are contaminated with faeces. This happen when someone touches food with ought washing hands with running water.

Lastly, dear villagers, the fourth cause of cholera is that a flea as an agent can transmit cholera from an infected person to another.

Symptoms

My fellow citizen, one of the major symptoms of cholera is water diarrhea where a person defecates washed water.

Dear villagers, there is still another symptoms of this deadly disease cholera which is frequent vomiting.

Dehydration, my dear villagers, is another vivid example of the major symptoms of cholera.
