On the 13th of October, we went to the Shek O Back Beach for an English activity. When we heard this news, we were feeling shocked and confused at first. We didn’t expect to have fun there, but this experience changed our views. We went there by a school bus. After around half am hour, we arrived. The guide led us to the Back Beach and there was lots of rubbish on the beach. After listening to the instructions, we started to clean up. During the process of cleaning, we actually found that we had a lot of fun and we really enjoyed it. Wind blew and the sound of the sea made us relax. Although we just worked for an hour, the results were surprising. We collected 143kg of rubbish! The whole activity was meaningful and we loved it. In this activity, we have learnt that protecting the Earth’s environment is really important. As a member of the Earth, we all have the responsibility to keep the Earth clean and make a better living for everyone. The sea is beautiful and we shouldn’t destroy it.
