   On a regular morning in Beijing, the fog,the poisonous venom, inundates the city and eats away the life of the people; however, this can not stop people from going to work because their family need them.  Ashley and her two friends are the preys of this heinous monster.  Before they go to work, they protect themselves as much as possible.  They wear coats, longs sleeve shirt, and long pants to insure that most of their body is covered and safe from the dripping venom of the pollution.  The women who are going to work ride the bike slowly and carefully because the air pollution is so thick that they can not see what is 10 feet ahead of them.  Amy, the second women, tries to follow Ashley as best as she can since Amy can barely see the road.  Another friend, Lissandra, who is going to work with Ashley and Amy takes her time on the road.  She slows down, looks at the distance and wonders about the sun.  She knows that the sun supposes to rise up from the horizon, but she can not finds a trace of the sun light.  People's hearts, not just those women's but all the people's that live in Beijing, sink because the pollution is getting worse and worse.  The disappearing of the sun is the omen that squelch the last hope inside people's heart.

Couple months ago air pollution was a trouble in Beijing, this effected many people for their health's. Lot of them start coughing as soon as they went out. Many people start to go out less than before and when they need to they either go with transportations or their bikes. Bike is not really a good idea because you still feeling the air but also you can go faster than the people who walk. So in picture 3 women has to get out from their house for a reason and they all neighbors, they want it to reach where they want to as soon as possible because what they're feeling is a bad air that affects them. They also watching the people who walk while they biking and feeling bad for them because even the kids are out there,and this air might effect them faster.

They might be so depress because they feel that they won't long in their country .

 Mr.L

      This is a foggy day in Beijing , the weather still cold and it will be getting colder on next few days.  Ming, Qin and Ling always get up before the sunrise , and they are riding their bicycle to their restaurant. Out side is a little bit dark in heavy fog , so they can not ride fast . There also haven't a car , maybe the cars don't allow to through during the morning. Ming rides ahead of Qin and Ling and she wears a dark green jacket and blue jeans, she is looking ahead and thinking of they must be hurry up before the people and bicycles are getting more. Qin rides behind of Ming and she is carrying a small bag and a box of fruits, she is thinking of what she need to prepare when they arrived the restaurant, also she feels asleep. Ling is the slowest one, she is looking right , there are many people are walking across the road. Some of them might go the work or some of them might to do exercises. She is thinking of the weather of Beijing is getting worst.
