Topics #8: Senses

     First of all, I want to say, I love that I have five senses!!! And I do not know how I will live my life if I lose any of them. To be honest, I am a person who is very afraid of being sick...However, if I had to lose one of my five senses, it would be taste, I think.
     Why taste? Comparing with other four senses, taste is less important than others, in my opinion.
     First, I cannot lose touch because I have to touch almost everything in my life. When I am shopping, I need to touch material of clothes so that I can know how the clothes feel.
     Second, I need to smell something if I did not have the feeling of taste. To recognise something good, decilious, of course, something bad and dangerous. For example, if I forget to turn off the gas, I can still smell it before I get poisoned. However, if I do not have the feeling of smell, then maybe I will be poisoned later on.
     The third one is hearing. It is also important because without hearing I cannot understand what people are saying, what music is playing, and who is now talking to me. To be short, I just cannot communicate with this world easily without hearing.
      Fourth, the sight! I am very tired of waring glasses now, let alone being blind. I cannot image feeling this world without seeing it. How my family look like? How about my friends? Or that stranger that just passed me?...I would have no ideas about any of them if I were blind now.
     Finally, I would choose taste if I had to. I can still eat at least! Just without feeling the taste.      Well, it is still sad.
    

Topic #7: What would you UN-invent?

UN-invent Plastic Bags

     

     If I could UN-invent something, it must be plastic bags.

     Nowadays, our environment is becoming worse and worse, and one of the big pollutions comes from waste plastic bags. In lots of markets, people use plastic bags to serve customers, and customers bring their plastic bags home then lose them away. We all know that before the recycling plastic bags comes into our lives, there are billions of millions of un-recyclable plastic bags.They are now buried under the ground forever. They are not only damage the soil, but also pollute our environment. Furthermore, plastic bags are dangerous to children. I find that lots of the newspaper reported that every year there are some children die because they swallow plastic bags mistakenly.
     On the other hand, plastic bags indeed benefit humans a lot. We cannot live without plastic bags now. In my country, government used to suggest citizens to use baskets for shopping, but failed in the end, for we have already been accustomed to using them and cannot come back.
     In conclusion, if I could UN-invent something, I would choose plastic bags because without them, our environment will be better, and there would not be any accident like swallowing plastic bags.
