Do you think Singapore should have more parks in the future?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I believe that Singapore should have more parks in the future. This is so that more locals will be more invited to visit these nature reserves to hang around and make friends with people there, enjoy the surrounding nature, and relax, instead of spending time at home, worrying about work or school. Looking at flora and fauna can stimulate the brain to work more efficiently as it relaxes the brain muscles. Looking at green can also help improve the eyesight if we are wearing spectacles or if we can't see properly. It also invites more tourists to visit as tourists are attracted to honeypot tourism, which is scenic beauty. which can help the economic aspect of Singapore due to tourism having a large percentage of Singapore's income. Hence, I believe that Singapore should have more parks as it will benefit locals, tourists and the country itself.

What can I infer from the photo?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The photo depicts a family of 5 enjoying a nice afternoon or morning in a park. I think that this is held on a weekend or public holiday as there is an adult in the park, which suggests that she is not working and enjoying a stroll in the park. I can also spot not one, but two domestic workers among the family of 5, which suggests that the whole family except the father is out for a walk in the park. Since the father is the head of the family, he is probably working to sustain the family. Balloons can be found on the fencing, which implies that there is a special event ongoing important enough to have the attention of the park manager.

I think that Singapore should have more parks in the future as people nowadays tend to be very stress from their school and work so more parks would mean that people would have more place to relieve their stress and enjoy the nature of the environment.Moreover, more parks in the future would mean that insects and birds that lose their habitats due to construction and cutting down of trees in Singapore would be able to recover their population.

Why do people visit parks?
Parks usually consists of long paths through natural landscapes. In my opinion, this provides the opportunity for residents who want to catch some fresh air from the stresses that they accumulate due to urbanization. It also allows residents to keep fit and healthy by jogging on these paths. People may also visit parks just to admire the beauty of the natural landscape that they can view as I believe that nowadays, the world we live in is modernised and that land is being used to build infrastructure hence it is rare for residents of a later generation to experience nature.
