I think interesting about this topic is that there are many choices, and they are all closely related to my identity as a student.

I think this topic is a bit hard for me. Because I have no experience in protests. In our country, this topic is very sensitive, and there are almost no protest marches or activities here. But I still like to learn about some global issues, such as climate change and environmental protection.

I think topics such as protecting the environment, climate change, and those related to health can touch me, because these topics are closely connected to our lives.

I haven't joined any protests, but I've seen pictures and videos of ones about protecting the environment and climate change.

It was shown in Copenhagen (2014), Paris (2015) and London (2018) to mark climate events. The work aims to make climate change tangible, letting people see Arctic ice melt. It encourages awareness through direct experience of melting ice.

Strong metaphors ("invisible illness").

Will : When you decide to do something right now, you can use “will”. For example, “I’ m thirsty. I think I will buy a bottle of water.” Here, the decision to buy water is made on the spot.

Be going to : When you have already made a plan, use “ be going to”. For example, We are going to have a party next week.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between “will” prediction without evidence and “going to” prediction with evidence. For example, “It will rain” vs “It’s going to rain”. I need to remember the evidence part.

Mistakes: I often use “will” for plans by mistake. Like saying “I will go to the park tomorrow” when I already planned it. I should use “going to” for planned actions.
