Obviously, human beings are now living under a high-developed technology world. The advanced technology makes our life more convenient than before. Inventions of the telephone, the telegraph, vehicles, airplane, computers and so on had already lead the world to a Modern Technology Period. However, the development of advanced technology also brings serious problems to the world. The earth itself is facing environmental issues.
March 31, my 19 years old birthday ,we went to the fishing village near our school during the English class. It was sunny and cloudless, the weather was just comfortable for walking. We went to a small port which had lots of fishing boat firstly. These boats were made of wood and were all connected by a thick rope in order to make them stable. Some boats had modern engines as driving power. Fishing was the major income for most of the villagers, the boats are the only useful tool for them. Sometimes, the boats were as important as the fishers' life. Several of us tried to get inside of the boat, but it was difficult to take it safely. The water of the port had been polluted by the used antifreeze, gas, engine oil of the boat. What's more, its water flew directly to the ocean nearby. We found lots of garbage and waste near the port and those were all the products of modern technology.
Then we walked to the beautiful sand beach. The sand beach was so soft, I felt as if sitting in a sofa which made my body sinking. It was not the flood time, the waves were small. And it was the perfect time for fishing. I saw an old man carried all of his fishing staffs coming here. He set up several baits with modern fishing tools and then sat at a small chair for relaxing. He went fishing for entertainment and the modern tools would give him a sign when it caught fishes. The modern technology makes people become lazy and brainless by its convenience.
We continued to walk until the outside of the Discovery Land Kingdom. There were lots of modern entertainment facilities inside, people were enjoying the excitement. However, nobody noticed that the nature landscapes were destroying by the technology.
