Activity 3: The Sky in Shanghai

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..

The stinky smell, brings merry hell to my nose. The thick smog in the air slowly creeps beneath my hair. People wear masks even to complete the simplest of tasks. New ideas are made to stop this bane.

    Georgia here again from Kaikohekohe (Northland) cluster! You really have shown dedication to the Summer Learning Journey, we really do appreciate this!

    You have created such a beautiful poem that really explains what people have to endure (suffer) while being in Beijing. I really like the part ‘people wear masks even to complete the simplest of task’, this is a brilliant play on words! Do you enjoy writing in school?

    Keep up the awesome work! Don’t forget that you can get extra points by posting meaningful, thoughtful and positive comments on any other bloggers post!

    Cheers,
    Georgia E

  3. Kia ora Alex,
    You have a great poem about what Shanghai might be like. You have great describing words. Maybe next time you could try and add a little bit more, but other than that your poem is really good.
    Keep up the great blogging! :)
