Yesterday I attended a classmate party．I was very happy to see my old friends，that I hadn't met for years．So I drank a lot．After the party，I drive home though my classmate had tried to persuade me not to．I always believed that as a skilled driver，drinking a little did no harm to driving．On the way to home，the wine began to take effect．All of sudden，I cracked my car against a sign on the road． Luckily，a policeman came towards me．He fined me and said："Drunk driving is a terribly thing．You can end up hurt yourself，and other innocent people life．"Till then，I realized that the effects of drunk driving could be deadly for all those involved．Many people who drink and drive do not think of the serious consequences of their action unless it is too late．So I appeal to everybody never to
drink and drive!Cherish your life!

13．Ahead of so-called Singles'Day on the 11th of this month，2013，online sales have already begun peaking．
The leading e-retail（零售）platform，tmall．com（天猫网），has promoted its fifty-percent-off discount to lure（吸引）consumers．They are also trying to attract buyers through social media．Vice President of tmall．com Wang Yulei says more than 20 thousand online stores have joined the Double 11 Day promotion campaign．This number has doubled．The final number of how many products going to be on sale has not been known yet．But so far，many more products planned to be put on shelves with discounts．
During last year's Singles'Day，tmall．com，together with taobao．com，reached a record of 19.1 billion yuan in sales volume，which considered a hallmark（品质证明） in the e-commerce history of China．
Singles'Day was first started by Chinese college students in the 1990s as the opposite of Valentine's Day，a celebration for people without romantic partners．The timing was based on the date：Nov.11-or double 11-for singles．Unattached young people would treat each other to dinner or give gifts to woo that special someone and end their single status．
But now，the Singles'Day has been promoted as a kind of grand craze just for the shopping season kicks-off，thanks to thousands of discounted products being promoted online．
Taobao．com was the first big e-retail platform which used the double 11 idea to promote sales．Taobao．com reached one million yuan worth of sales volume on that day in 2009，when they first promoted the Singles'Day idea．In 2010，that volume increased to 936 million yuan．The figure climbed up to 5.3 billion yuan in 2011，putting huge demand on shipping services．The figure doubled in 2012．
E-commerce is considered to be elbowing out the traditional retailing industry，but the reality is both sides are learning from each other．
