Visual pollution has a greater effect on people than you think. I
remember when I went to a foreign country, I was really scared because
there was so much graffiti on the building’s wall. Then I looked up, and I saw
a lot of power lines over my head. Although they were not dangerous, I still
felt insecure since I thought they might fall down. These things prevented
me from enjoying the beautiful sights of the city.

I also remember the time I studied in Melbourne. Once I was so busy
with my assignments that I did not tidy my room for two weeks. Looking at
the messy room caused me so much stress that I did not to study. Then I
decided to clean the room and put my things in their proper places. I also
bought a small plant and placed it in a corner. These simple actions
increased my motivation and helped me focus on my learning.
