Venice is the “Queen” of the Adriatic Sea（亚的里亚海）, every year thousands of people from all over the world travel to Italy to visit the city. Do you know why they like to go there for a visit?

Venice is a very beautiful city. It is quite different from other cities in the world. There aren’t any roads and streets in the city, so there aren’t any cars and buses. There are many canals in the city. There is one big canal and one hundred and seventy- seven canals. People move up and down in the canals in boats to go work, go shopping or visit their friends.

But Venice is sinking. It is going down and the water is going up. In 2040 Venice will be under water. The Adriatic Sea will cover the city. The Venetians love their city and they want to stay there. So they want to save Venice from the sea. They don’t want to leave. How can they save Venice? They can build some strong huge walls and gates in the sea. The gate will close to keep too much water out. Thus Venice will not sink.
