Me and My Everyday Environment

Every day when I come home from school, I feel a lot of dust when I walk to the entrance of the school. There is construction work going on there. The school is renovating the playground.

The school is under construction, and I believe that although it is ugly now, it will be beautiful again when the construction is finished. But the school is under construction and the dust from the construction is floating in the air, and then we inhale the air which is not very good for our health. Like me, I am allergic and my allergy will get worse when I inhale the dust. Every time I walk to that side my nose will be uncomfortable. I hope we can reduce construction. It doesn't matter if it's for myself or the environment.

There was also a building under construction on the way to the MRT. This building was beautiful after the construction. I guess this building is a building for people to use as a place to live. But because they were working on it, I used to sneeze every time I went to the MRT station because of the dust, even though I was wearing a mask. The dust also gets into my eyes and is very uncomfortable.

When I go to the MRT station, there are often cars passing by on the road next to it. Emissions from cars are also bad for the air. Although the car makes our life very convenient, but the emissions float into the sky. Then the original blue sky will become unattractive. I think we should perhaps reduce the frequency of car use.

I hope some people who can afford it can see if there are any effective ways to protect the environment. Maybe we can do it in our own way, such as using less plastic, using less electricity, not littering, sorting garbage properly, or reducing construction. The next time we go to a beverage store to buy a drink, we can bring our own green straws instead of using their plastic ones. We can also bring our own eco-friendly bags when we go shopping at the mall to reduce the use of plastic. Let's protect the environment together!

在每天放學回家的時候，走到學校正門的時候，都會感覺到有很多灰塵。因為那裡正在施工。學校正在整修操場。

學校在施工，我相信雖然現在醜醜的，但是等施工完一定又會變得漂漂亮亮的了。但是學校施工然後那個施工的灰塵都飄在空中，然後我們吸入那個空氣對身體不是很好。像我我是過敏體質，那種吸入灰塵我的過敏就會變嚴重。每次走到那邊鼻子都會不舒服。我希望我們還是減少施工比較好。不管是對自己還是環境。

之前去捷運的路上，也有一棟建築物在施工。這棟建築物在施工後變得很漂亮。我猜這棟建築物讓人們拿來居住所的。但是因為他們在施工，所以導致我每次去捷運站的時候常常會因為粉塵的關係打噴嚏，即便我帶著口罩。而且那些粉塵還會跑進眼睛裡面很不舒服。

去捷運站的時候，旁邊的馬路常常有車經過。車子排放的廢氣對空氣也是很不好的。車子雖然讓我們的生活變得很方便，但是排放的廢氣飄到天空中。然後原本藍藍的天空就變得不好看了。我覺得我們或許應該要減少用車的頻率才對。

我希望一些有能力的人可以看看有沒有什麽有效的方法來保護環境。我們或許可以用自己的方式來保護環境，比如說減少使用塑膠、減少用電、不要亂丟垃圾、將垃圾正確分類或是減少施工等行為。我們下次去飲料店買飲料的時候我嗎可以帶自己的環保吸管，不用的他們的塑膠吸管。我們也可以去商場購物的時候帶自己的環保材質的袋子來減少使用塑膠。讓我們一起來保護環境吧！
