My name is Sochea. When I was thirteen years old I lived in the countryside with my family on a small farm. I had a mother, a father, and a younger brother. My brother was four years old and went to kindergarten.

Every morning I woke up early and ate breakfast with my family. After breakfast, I helped on the farm. I fed the chickens and gave food to the cows.

Then I went to school by bus. English was my favorite subject because I enjoyed learning new words. In the evening, we ate dinner together and talked happily there.

If you want, send it to me,
I’ll have a look at it.

SMFrockZ@gmx.at

My name is Sochea, and I am thirteen years old. I live in the countryside with my family on a small farm. I have a mother, a father, and a younger brother. My brother is four years old and goes to kindergarten.

Every morning I wake up early and eat breakfast with my family. After breakfast, I help on the farm. I feed the chickens and give food to the cows.

Then I go to school by bus. English is my favorite subject because I enjoy learning new words. In the evening, we eat dinner together and talk happily there.

Fireworks are very popular for New Year and other celebrations. Many people enjoy the colors and lights in the sky. But fireworks have some problems. First, they make the air dirty. Smoke and chemicals from fireworks can make it difficult to breathe, especially for children and people with health problems. Second, fireworks are very noisy. Loud sounds can scare babies, pets, and older people. Animals in cities or forests can also get stressed. Third, fireworks can be dangerous.

Fireworks are a traditional part of celebrations, but they have several disadvantages. First, they create a lot of air pollution. Smoke and chemicals from fireworks make the air dirty and can cause breathing problems, especially for people with asthma. Second, fireworks are very noisy. Loud explosions can frighten children, pets, and elderly people. Noise can also disturb wildlife in cities and natural areas. Third, fireworks are dangerous. Every year, people suffer burns or other serious injuries while using them, even when they are careful.

Drone shows are a modern and safer alternative. They do not produce smoke or harmful gases, so the air stays clean. Drones are quiet, which means they do not disturb people or animals. They are controlled remotely by trained operators, which reduces the risk of accidents. At the same time, drone shows can be very creative, forming shapes, words, and colorful patterns in the sky. People can enjoy these displays safely.

In conclusion, replacing fireworks with drone shows can protect the environment, reduce noise, and prevent accidents. Drone shows allow people to celebrate in a safe and environmentally friendly way without losing the excitement of a beautiful display.

While fireworks have long been emblematic of celebration, their environmental, acoustic, and safety repercussions increasingly challenge their continued use. From an ecological perspective, fireworks release substantial quantities of particulate matter and toxic chemicals, contributing to air pollution and posing health risks to individuals with respiratory vulnerabilities. The auditory impact is equally concerning; the intense explosions associated with pyrotechnics can provoke significant distress in both humans—particularly children, the elderly, and sensitive populations—and wildlife, disrupting natural behaviors and habitats. Furthermore, the risk of physical injury remains non-trivial, as even experienced individuals are susceptible to burns or more severe accidents during displays.

Drone-based light shows present a compelling alternative that mitigates these concerns. By employing remotely operated aerial devices, organizers can achieve visually stunning spectacles without generating pollutants or excessive noise, while substantially reducing the likelihood of human injury. Modern drone performances allow for extraordinary creative expression, with the capacity to render intricate animations, text, and synchronized patterns in three-dimensional space, arguably surpassing the artistic flexibility of traditional fireworks.

In sum, transitioning to drone shows not only preserves the celebratory grandeur associated with public displays but also aligns with contemporary imperatives for environmental stewardship, public health, and safety.
