Venice is in northeastern Italy. It is sited on a group of 118 small islands. These islands are separated by canals and are linked by bridges. It is one of the most interesting and lovely places in the world. It is also the world's only pedestrian city. You can visit outdoor piazzas, bridges, canals. Besides, you can also visit numbers of churches and museums in Venice. However, the city is sinking ! Every year the city settles a little. If global warming continues to raise sea levels in the Mediterranean, you can guess what the end result would be. So go and see Venice while you still can.

威尼斯
威尼斯位于意大利东北部，坐落于118座小岛组成的岛群上。这些小岛被河道分开，依靠桥梁连在一起。威尼斯是世界上最有趣、最迷人的地方之一。它也是世界上唯一的步行城市。你可观看它的广场、桥梁和运河，还可参观许多教堂和博物馆。不过，这座城市正在下沉！每年威尼斯都会下沉一点。如果全球变暖继续抬高地中海的海平面，你可以猜到结果会如何了。所以，趁现在还行，赶紧去威尼斯看看吧！
