Different Types of Organisms

There are many different kinds of trees, plants and animals living in the lake. The lake has got coniferous trees, deciduous tree, different kind of colorful flowering plants. It has got a lot of coconut trees and banana trees. We even spotted a pong pong tree. It was located near the lake. I think is located there for fruit dispersal. We saw a squirrel it was running here and there. But, unfortunately it ran too fast and we could not get a snap of it. We saw a Banyan tree. It had a lot of hanging roots. My friend and I tried to hang on it and play but in vain. We fell down and hurt ourselves. Luckily we only had minor injuries and were able to continue looking. We even saw a dead tortoise. Man's activities has caused it to die. When we reached there it was being broken down by decomposers. I have gone there when I was young. It has changed a lot since then. When I went there there was only a few park. But now the place is filled with parks for different ages. It has got a lot of tracks for running, cycling, and walking. It was really fun being at the Jurong Lake Park. Its a place where we should go with our family members it has got a adventure playground and a mini skateboard ramp for teenagers like us.

Activities That Affect The Lake

Man's Activities that affects the Jurong Lake

There a lot of human activities that disrupt the peace found in that place. One of that is littering. Litter is found everywhere along the lake. The people who use the object are very inconsiderate. Eben though when there is a litter bin just a few meters away, they still throw their litter on the floor. Littering not only dirt's the place. It also causes land pollutions and it contributes a lot to global warming. When we litter we are giving the cleaner more job to do. If a single person takes initiative many people will follow him/ her and throw their litter in the rubbish bin as well. If the government wants to prevent littering along the lake, I think its should set up cameras in every single corner and they should increase the fine for littering to $500. Even if the public does not want take the initiative they will at least be scared for the fine and throw their litter in the litter bin.
