“Judy, hurry up! Let’s go to the beach!”
That was a familiar morning call from my older brother, Sirin. Hearing that, I would spring up quickly and we would set off on our journey.
Raised by our grandparents in Savanna, we experienced our happiest moments there.
Nestled between the mountains and the sea, with its lush green trees, crystal-like ocean, and clear blue sky, Savanna was like a small village from a fairy tale.
Sirin and I often enjoyed the gentle sea breeze as we explored the breathtaking coast, with the endless, open water beside us and the vast, clear sky overhead. We felt a sense of freedom to wander the sandy beach or experience the excitement of sailing out to sea, delighting in the awe-inspiring beauty of nature’s wonders. When we grew tired, leisurely walking on the soft, warm sands to collect unique, fascinating seashells brought us a different kind of peaceful joy. The friendly, warmhearted villagers treated us like family, often sharing their freshly-caught seafood with us.
Three years later, we were taken away from the village to receive a better education by our parents. Occupied with our study, we rarely visited our beloved grandparents, only calling them occasionally. We gradually adapted to the fast-paced city life and found it more efficient and convenient. Whenever we had an appetite for seafood, our dad would simply order it through his phone, and it would be delivered to our doorstep within minutes. In addition to seafood, we could order anything our hearts desired, no matter how late it was. What we loved most was the convenience of not needing to wash the dishes after eating, as they were all disposable, designed for single use.
However, deep within us, we sometimes longed for the simple pleasures of village life. We were told by our grandparents that more and more tourists flooded into the village, which strengthened our desire to return. So, when the eagerly-awaited summer vacation arrived this year, we finally made our dream trip back to our childhood paradise. After greeting our grandparents with hugs and smiles, we eagerly headed towards the sun-kissed seaside to relive our cherished memories.
Paragraph 1：
However, what we saw shocked us.The beach was strewn with plastic bags and single-use containers, a stark contrast to the pristine sands of our memories. The sea, once a crystal-clear expanse teeming with vibrant marine life, now lay murky and lifeless. The erosion of natural beauty was evident, and the smell of decay forced us to cover our noses. Tears clouded our vision as we surveyed the chaos—our fairy-tale village seemed on the brink of ecological collapse. Grandfather, with a heavy heart, explained how the influx of tourists seeking prosperity had unfortunately led to these dramatic changes, making it necessary that we act to prevent further damage and save endangered species and their habitats.
Paragraph 2：
Hearing Grandfather’s words, we couldn’t wait to do something to tackle the pollution.Sirin and I immediately started cleaning up the beach, picking up trash with our bare hands. Encouraged by our determination, more villagers, equipped with sticks and nets, came to assist in removing the debris. I captured the severe condition through my phone and shared the images on social media to raise awareness. Our collective effort gradually restored the beach’s beauty, allowing the local ecosystem to thrive once again. The fresh, salty breeze was a sweet reward, a sign that nature could coexist with human activity if given respect and care, making a significant difference.
