英文小作文：

Title: Close Call on the Road

Last week, I had a close call on the road. It was raining heavily and I was driving on a narrow road with no sidewalk. Suddenly, a car came from the opposite direction and almost hit me head-on. I managed to swerve to avoid a collision, but it was a very frightening experience. I realized how important it is to be careful when driving in bad weather and on narrow roads. I also realized that I need to be more attentive and aware of my surroundings at all times. It was a valuable lesson that I will never forget.
