My Polluted Beach

Writing Task

Imagine this beach was once your favourite summer holiday destination.

Explain why this was your favourite place to be.

Describe what is happening here. 

How does it make you feel?

I can't dive in the water!  I feel embarrassed to see the beach.  It was awesome when I last saw it but now it is an awful mess.  Now there is guck everywhere.  I cannot believe it.  It was so inspiring, but now it is disgusting.  There is a car that's crashed, a dog pooping, a big tin drum with a crossbones on it that has poison coming out and it is going into the water and killing the fish.  What a disgrace.  I think we can help the beach.  We can make it like a star that can shine!  We can help the poor beach!  People have to stop doing this stuff.  Definitely!  Yes we can do this.  Can you please help?

I feel disgusted.  We had so much fun wake boarding here and people come along and dump their rubbish and let their dogs poo anywhere.  But why?  I loved this beach - wake boarding on the cool smooth waves and doing tricks, exploring and in the mornings I would surf the monstrous waves.  People are polluting and making CO2 on my beautiful beach.  Now I can't fish or surf.  I can't wake board.  There are toxinsin the water and sick crabs are scattered.  They must think it's a dump.  I wish people would stop it.  It's just not right.  I'm going to stop this at once.  I'm going to clean it up!  I'm going to get my friends and bring shovels.
