Exercise 2.
This scene is like something out of a fantasy. It's so big and amazing, with little people down on the ground who look really small next to these huge, magical mushrooms that are acting like streetlights and giving off a blue light. The whole atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, making it seem like a dream. Honestly, it's hard to believe a place like this could be real because it looks so unreal, almost like a movie set or a fairytale.
You can tell right away that this place is special. The mushrooms are much taller than people and have a special glow to them. The way they light up the area is really cool, and it feels like a magical world. Even though it's so different from normal life, it's also welcoming and peaceful. The blue light from the mushrooms adds to the calm feeling.
It's a place where you could just sit and enjoy the beauty around you. It's almost like being in a storybook or a dream, and it's hard not to wonder if such a place could really exist in the real world. It's a place that makes you believe in magic.

UNCONDITIONAL BASIC INCOME?
Every working person should get a fixed amount of money for the job done in order to improve living conditions. The first reason is because people can choose a job that fits their lifestyle better in comparison to having to choose the first one that is presented to them. For example, a single mother with 1 baby can choose a job that allows her to meet the needs of her baby instead of having to work in harder jobs. The second reason is that with a minimum wage approved wealth is redistributed. Therefore there isn't such a big injustice between the poor and the rich , so our economic system, capitalism, doesn't get to its extremes. Finally it could help victims of domestic violence independence. Since they would have to live on other people's money and an unconditional basic income will help them move out the house .To sum up, it is obvious that a fixed salary helps people improve their quality of life and overall well being.
