Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you. Even though Beijing's air is not as good as a place with less polution, but we can still see blue sky, and stars at night, I do believe this represent the beauty that Beijing has. He is one of a famous sing in China, I like his music a lot, even though every place has warm and friendly people, but also cold blooded and bitter people, but I do believe most of the people in Beijing are warm, friendly, also kind to every one even animals. This is the place where I go to school, I feel its important to me because its the place where I will be studing for 3 years, this is one of the picture of the school, its unique because it's the only BRS in the world. This is the place where Olympic happened in 2008 in Beijing, I think it represents most the culture values of Beijing. I've been there once, it is as beautiful as it is in the picture.
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has?
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

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? Our city's population is too big.It will cause the traffic jam and people can not get to somewhere easily.When you on the bus,it's very crowded that can make you very uncomfortable.Sometimes,if you wang to get into the bus,you might have to wait for two or three times.So too much people will give us more trouble.

What can you do to be address the issue? Suggest government to control the population and control the quantity of cars.And increas the public traffic.

What is the global impact of your local issue? For example,if some foreigners come to Beijing,there is so crowded that makes them uncomfortable.Then will give them a bad impression of China.So maybe someone will dislike Beijing.That's not good.
