(2024·安徽高考)假设你校英语社团举办以“讲求文明，从我做起”为主题的征文活动，请你以“On the Way to School”为题，写一篇英语短文。内容主要包括：
1．遵守交通法规；
2．注意举止文明。
On the Way to School
These days, breaking traffic rules and littering are not uncommon, ①causing serious harm to life and the environment. Changing this situation requires considerable effort on the part of everyone. As for me, it should start on my way to school.
I will keep traffic rules in mind all the way. If I ride a bike, I'll always keep to the right and never cross a road until the traffic light turns green. If I walk, I'll never forget to use the pedestrian crossing. Meanwhile, I will regard it as my duty to help keep our environment clean and healthy. Not only will I keep from littering or spitting anywhere, but I will help clean up the roadside litter ②whenever possible. I hope my behaviour will make a difference.
