You may know the English letters，A，B and C.But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas.But do you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange!Are these people from “another earth”? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born Chinese.An ABC is a Chinese,but was born in the United States.Sometimes people call an ABC a“banana person”.A banana is yellow outside and white inside.So,when a person is a banana,he or she is white inside-thinking like a westerner and yellow outside-looking like
11
a Chinese.
Do you know why? Usually ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics(政治).
But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese ,can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas(海外的) Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the USA, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents ,grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China.
For example,we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang(杨振宁).He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in1957.Chinese people love him.But he is an American citizen.

One possible version：
Yesterday I met some people at a corner. I saw them walk across the street when the traffic light was red. They Don’t obey the traffic rule. I have some suggestions for the people who didn’t obey the rules. First, we mustn't walk across the street when the traffic light is red. We should wait until the traffic light is green. Second, don't run on the street. If we run across the street quickly, drivers may hit us. It is very dangerous for us.
I hope everyone can obey the traffic rules and keep ourselves and others safe on the road.
