The Lack of Trees

        Seoul, which is the capital city in South Korea, is the first major city in South Korea. Over 10 million people are living there. In the center of the city, there are many buildings and cars. Of course, there are some mountains. But there are few trees, because people built many apartments to create living areas. They have to cut trees to create building areas. The Namsan mountain, in the center of the city, lost half of it’s forest because of building a house and an apartment. Koreans won’t be able to see a tree in Seoul any more, if this problem continues. For example, we never can see a swallow in Seoul, but I watched a swallow when I was a child. Anyway, The government has to disperse the population to another city. Usually, people want to live close to the area where they work. They don’t want to spend time going to work. So they have to solve traffic problems too. For last, they have to plant many trees in the mountain and create a green park in the city.
