Venice is the "Queen of the Adriatic (亚得里亚海)". Every year thousands of people visit the city. Why do they go there? Because Venice is a beautiful city. There aren't any roads in this city so there aren't any cars or buses. There are canals. There is a big canal and 177 small canals. People move up and down the canals in boats. But Venice is sinking. It is going down but the water is going up. In 2040 Venice will be under the water. The Adriatic will cover their city. The Venetians love their city and they want to save Venice from the sea. They do not leave. How can they save Venice? They can put some gates in the sea. The gates will close so Venice will not sink.
