Do you know Tuvalu? It is one of the smallest countries in the world. It is difficult to find fresh water(淡水) in the country, so people can't grow plants or vegetables there. They need to pay much money for fresh vegetables from other countries.
However, the sea around Tuvalu is cleaner than any other part of the world, because there are not any large factories(工厂) in the country. This beautiful country with clean sea makes lots of people from other countries travel there.
Tuvalu will face another problem, because the sea level(海平面) may soon become higher than the land of Tuvalu. If that happens, Tuvalu will show up only on old maps in the future. Most of the people in Tuvalu worry about this, but they can't do anything to stop this from happening, and many people are leaving Tuvalu for other countries.
What's more, there is only one senior high school in Tuvalu. It is truly difficult for students to learn useful things in the school. After people move away from Tuvalu, they can't find good jobs because they can only grow fruit, catch fish and clean houses. For people still living in Tuvalu, maybe they can look on the good side(往好的方面看) and try to do something to stop the sea level growing.
