Activity 3: The Sky in Shanghai [10 points]
One day I would really like to travel to China. It is a country with a rich history, vibrant cities, tasty food, and fascinating architecture (buildings). Unfortunately, some of the largest Chinese cities have high rates of air pollution. The air pollution in Beijing, one of the largest cities in China, can get so bad that roads are closed, flights are cancelled and events are postponed while they wait for the smog in the air to clear. The terrible pollution is also having fatal (deadly) effects as, approximately, 1.1 million people in China died last year from air pollution-related causes. The Chinese government is very concerned and they have introduced a number of strategies (ideas) to reduce the pollution levels. Imagine that you were asked to travel to Beijing. How would you feel?
On your blog, write a poem that describes your feelings about travelling to Beijing, China.
Going up as high as a mountain, its feels like I'm flying,
Going on a plane by myself, feels like I will never see my home
Again.
Hello Helena
ReplyDeleteMy name is Daniel and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey program. Well done on completing this activity. Your poem is great - I like how you included a ominous message in it (feels like I will never see my home again) as it makes your poem a lot better! Keep up the amazing work Helena, I hope to see more posts soon!
