Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has?
 * Yes, of course. I had been to the place where the first picture show with my friends to have a picnic. We played there and talked jokes together. We had a great memory there.
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Yes. In my opinion, people in Beijing are all friendly.
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Yes, the Beijing 2008 Olympic Game can make my place important and unique, because this can show Beijing is a good place, and can show people here are friendly!
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?
 * Yes, there is!

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? In Beijing, the traffic jam is a big issue. More and more cars are bought by people then there are more and more cars on the roads. Sometimes you need to waste much time to go a short distance. It is a local issue in Beijing.

What can you do to be address the issue? In my opinion, people should take bus and subway more then there are less number of cars on the roads. In this way, there will be less traffic jam in our life.

What is the global impact of your local issue? Too many traffic jams can make foreigeners be bored of this city. I think foreigeners will think that people in Beijing are so many, they maybe don't want to live in there.
