Task

Your class recently visited a land reclamation site and your teacher has now asked to
write a report on what you learned from the trip and what you suggest that they
could do to prevent further damaging the environment

I was quite fascinated by I was quite shocked to see how

how the dredgers work. they were moving the
machinery on the reef.

Write a report for your teacher.

The comments above may give you some ideas, and you can also use some ideas of
your own. Your report should be between 150 and 200 words long. You will receive
up to 8 marks for the content of your report, and up to 8 marks for the language
used.

Introduction

This report purports to highlight what we learned from the trip to the land
reclamation site and to suggest what could be done to prevent further damages to
the environment.

The trip

As soon as we reached the north tip of our island, where the project was taking
place, many of my classmates got captivated by the machinery used in the
reclamation process. They were particularly marvelled to see how the dredgers work.
We were briefed about the process, including how sand was collected from the
seabed and sprayed on the site. Plus, we learned all the names and roles of the
machinery and equipment involved.

However, most of us felt that the way the workers have been doing the work was
utterly harmful to the environment. We observed them taking the bulky machinery
over unrelated parts of the reef. Besides, we found that the piling of sand on
vegetation was totally uncalled-for.

Recommendation

I am of the opinion that everyone should be more responsible when carrying out
such projects so that the environmental impact could be minimised. In this regard, I
believe that the excavator drivers should avoid pristine coral-crusted reef areas and
opt sandy parts of the lagoon to move the diggers although it takes more time.
They also have a responsibility to avoid piling the sand on bushes and shrubs. For
this to happen, the council must surely be more vigilant and accountable in
overseeing such projects.

Introduction

This report aims to present what we learned from the visit to the land reclamation
site as well as to ascertain the ways to minimize the negative environmental impacts
due to the project.

The visit

We arrived at the site while the work was on-going and, to our amazement, it was
quite a bit different from what we had expected. Almost everyone was thunderstruck
to see how exactly the land was being reclaimed. It was simply fascinating to discover
that sand from ocean floor was piled on the reef flat to enlarge the land surface.
Moreover, as we learned about the machinery, we all deeply agreed that the dredger
should get most of the credit as it does the carrying and piling of sand, which
actually is the main idea of land reclamation. It will indeed be a golden contribution
to our geography lessons.

Notwithstanding the boons, it was utterly saddening to see the once animate marine
life now in tatters due to their recklessness. If only the workers were more cautious,
less blight would be caused to the Mother Nature. It is absolutely senseless to ravage
reef areas, other than the ones included in the project, just because we lack
consideration.

Recommendation

In light of what we observed on the trip, I vehemently believe that the workers
should be more cautious while driving across the reef and on land. Besides, it is high
time the responsible personnel advised the workers to bypass the pristine reef when
moving the machinery back and forth so as to avoid further damages to our
ecosystem.

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to highlight what we learned from the trip to the land
reclamation site and suggest things that can be improved in the future.

Eyesore

Once we all arrived at the land reclamation site, most of us were appalled to see the
beautiful beaches and coral reefs totally demolished because of land reclamation.
Many students also complained about the carelessness of workers in moving the
machinery over the newly grown vegetation and dumping sand on trees and coconut
palms.

However, despite the problems, the vast majority of students were able to learn how
the land reclaiming machineries were used and how the process was carried out. We
all got the insight into the importance of the project for our future development due
to our shortage of land.

Recommendation

Although the project seemed indispensable, no one would deny the fact that islands
are beautiful only when the nature is unharmed. Therefore, we would like to
recommend the workers to be more careful while moving the machinery and it
would be great if they used only one area to pile the sand.
