Dear editor( 编辑),
Can't your newspaper do something about the custom (习惯) of hitchhiking?
A short time ago, on a car travel I counted at least 50 people standing beside the road, asking for rides. Many of them were young women.
Don't they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing!
Many of these young hitchhikers may come from good families. Don't their parents teach them anything about the world? I always taught my children not to talk to strangers. I never let them take rides from people they didn't know.
Isn't there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble. Don't you think what I said is true?

Many places of London were once villages. Today, London is a growing city with about 7 million people. They came from all parts of the world. Their ways of life are not the same but harmonious (和谐的). Their favorite food is pie and mashed potato. The symbol of London is a red double-deck (双层) bus. It came to London in 1956 and was in use there until 2005. Now it only runs on two main streets in the center of London. Let's look forward to London's wonderful show next year!
