Islands

I think that warm islands are better to visit than cold islands. You want to know why? Well, I’ll tell you why. I think that because they have a bigger variety of food, it’s always warm, and it has better nature. Keep reading to know more about why I want to visit warm island not a cold one.

The first reason I want to visit an island that is a warm island is because the food they have. On cold islands the only food they have is seafood, because the people there can’t plant crops on the cold, hard, frozen ground. But on warm islands there is warm grounds (for planting crops and building animal farms)and you can pick a banana or a coconut right off a tree. That’s the first reason why I want to visit a warm island.

The second reason I want to visit a warm island is the heat. The island heat is a lot warmer than the cold islands. They have all that heat because they are near the equator. If your on a warm island you don’t need as many clothes than when your on a cold island. That’s the second reason I want to visit a warm island.

The third reason I want to visit a warm island is the nature those islands have. First of all there is vines to climb. Second of all when you climb one of the mountains there is a really great view. Last of all there is soft, sandy beaches. Well, that’s the last reason I want to visit a warm island, and not a cold one.

So, now do you want to visit a warm or cold island?
