My goal for this semester is to improve my Artistic skills. In this semester I want to learn more about how to design a picture and how to choose and match the colors, because last semester I found that I'm very interested in designing pictures and making models, so this semester I want to learn more and do a better job. I can make a preliminary measurement by my own standards, and ask the teachers and others for their opinions to measure whether I am making progress.

The lyrics mean that our environment is getting worse. We used to have a good environment but not anymore, because human's factory make a lot of bad things into the ocean and air.

After reading the lyrics, my cousin hoped that humans would stop ruining nature and the little animals would die. She felt that the melody of the song gave her a relaxed feeling. She said that usually this kind of topic would make people feel more serious or heavy, but the melody of the song made it relaxing, and it didn’t sound like it was a preached song. Songs and melodies are also easy to remember, so it is easier to imprint in people's minds.

I think the lyrics of this song are written very simple and easy to understand, so it is easy to resonate, and the way it expresses makes people feel that this singer looks at it from the same perspective as we do, not from a professional. It is easier for me to accept what is expressed in this song.

I think the issue of this song is very serious, but the melody of the song made me feel relaxed and comfortable.

I think because the melody of this song makes people feel comfortable, even if it is actually a song that reminds people to take care of the environment. people would usually listen to it, and when the lyrics combine with the melody. In fact, it is a very persuade and easy to promote song, so before you know it, it has actually played a role in promoting environmental issues, so I think the melody design of this song is very good.

This song has not changed my thoughts and feelings about the environment, but it did make me think about the issue of environmental protection again, the harm caused by the human environment, and how we can truly protect the environment. Also I want to be more serious to participate in our class and help the environment that we live in.

在這學期我的目標是提高我的和藝術相關的技能，這學期我想學習更多關於如何設計圖片以及如何選擇和搭配顏色的知識，因為上學期我發現我對設計圖片和製作模型很感興趣，所以這學期我想學得更多、做得更好。我可以通過以自己的標準來做初步的衡量，和加上詢問老師和其他人的意見來確認我是否有在進步。

歌詞的意思是我們生活的環境越來越差。我們曾經有一個很好的生活環境，但因為人類的工廠向海洋和空氣中製造了很多不好的東西， 所以導致我們不再擁有那樣美好的環境。

看完歌詞後，我姐姐希望人類不要再破壞大自然，小動物要死光了。 她覺得歌曲的旋律給她的感覺是輕鬆的，她說平時這種議題會讓人覺得比較嚴肅或沉重，但這首歌的旋律讓這件事情變得比較輕鬆，聽起來並不像宣導的歌，旋律也很容易讓人記住，所以更容易印在人們的腦海裡。

我覺得這首歌的歌詞寫得很淺顯易懂，所以讓人很容易產生共鳴，並且它表達的方式會讓人覺得這個歌手和我們用著一樣的角度來看待這件事，而不是從一個專業人士的角度來宣導，這對我而言會比較容易去接受這首歌裡所表達的東西。

我覺得這首歌雖然它所說的議題是嚴肅、沉重，但它的音樂會讓人感到放鬆和自在。

我覺得因為這首歌的旋律會讓人感到舒服，所以即便它其實是一首提醒人們要愛護環境的歌，但人們平時也會願意去聽，而當它的歌詞結合了它的旋律時，它其實也就是一首很洗腦且傳唱度很高的一首歌曲，所以在不知不覺中，它其實就已經起到了推廣環境議題的作用，所以我覺得這首個的旋律設計的非常好。

這首歌並沒有改變我對環境的想法和認知，但它確實讓我重新去思考了關於環保這個議題，以及人類對環境所造成的傷害，和我們究竟要如何做才能真正的保護到環境，也讓我想更認真地去投入我們這學期的課程，透過這學期的課程去盡可能的幫助我們所生活的這片環境。
