I cannot believe that this is the first time I have ever gone to Woodlands Waterfront!I jumped with joy.Come to think of this trip,I am really happy not only for the CIP hours awarded :) but also the fun everyone had there.The only part that I detest most is the aftermath of walking.I had a sore back and legs!Overall,it was great!
Everyone assembled in the Parade Square of our school and waited for the signal of the teacher on when to walk to Woodlands Waterfront.The Sun was shining at its brightest and all the heated tiles of the Parade Square produced unbearable heat.OUCH!(when I sat on the tiles.)
Finally,after a long wait,our class is signalled to go and we started walking out from the main entrance of our school.Chatters could be heard everywhere,the atmosphere was lively.
Everyone finally reached Woodlands Waterfront,took a class photo and went to our class' so called "base" where we put our belongings.(It was only a shelter.)Soon,we started cleaning up.While picking up the litter in Woodlands Waterfront Park,I realised that there were a lot of cigarette buds,plastic bags full of rainwater,beer bottles and some wiry metal pieces(I do not know why they end up there.Probably because of barbecue.).I received a rude shock as I realised that there a lot of litterbugs!How can they litter in such a nice place for everyone to enjoy and have fun?They should have thought of the consequences that littering is an offence!It also pollutes places and may cause harm to others like a lighter(dangerous hazard;flammable substance),which I found.We should always keep our environment clean and green.Moreover,it is a public place!
While travelling back home,I felt tired but learnt new things.We should think in the point of view of cleaners that cleaning is a tough job and should not litter.It may be a hassle for you by throwing just one tissue by walking to the nearest bin but it will take a long time for the cleaner to clean tonnes of tissue littered on the floor!(Okay, exaggerating but if it were to happen, it is true!)Remember,littering is an offence and we too do not want to pollute the beautiful places of Mother Earth!Therefore,everybody has to play a part by not littering!Let us work towards a cleaner and greener Singapore!:)
