Sorry for the late post but this is a book trailer about One Friday Morning by Langston Hughes. A book trailer is like a movie trailer, where it gets you interested in something by previewing it to somebody via in this case, video. And if I am quiet, that’s because it dark and I forgot to do this so sorry! Anyways enjoy.

One Friday Morning – Response to Text
Last week for reading, I read the text “One Friday Morning” by Langston Hughes. It’s a crazy story about this African American girl who gets an award for her art. So have a look at these slides and enjoy!
20 Minute City Writing
Title | A 20 Minute City |
Introduction | A 20 minute city is a concept of commuting to different facilities in under 20 minutes, hence the name “20 minute cities”. It would be quicker and better than a normal city. A 20 minute city would have everything from supermarkets, hospitals, parks and recreation, education and even public transport, all in the span of 15-20 minutes. There are many benefits of living in a 20 minute city. |
Information
1st element |
The first benefit is travel. Since public facilities will be within reach in 20 minutes, it’s faster to travel since you don’t need to travel anywhere else but the suburb that you live in. For example, if you are trying to go to the dairy in a normal city, travel times would take around 5-15 minutes. But thanks to the amazing concept of a 20 minute city, travel times get sliced into a good 3-10 minutes. In fact, some residents can walk there in just a couple minutes. |
Information
2nd element |
My second benefit is emissions and money which is in relation to the first benefit. Since commuting is way closer, you would save petrol, which would lower emissions in a 20 minute city, rather than increasing emissions by traffic jams on the motorway. Saving petrol would also save money, and even your mental health, let me explain.
Since there wouldn’t be as much traffic, you would have good mental health because you won’t have to show your misery in your regular rush hour traffic. But a 20 minute city would be close enough to take a bus or even walk to work. |
Information
3rd element |
My third and final benefit is mental health. Since there would be lower emissions, active commuting and with the editions of greenspace and parks and traffic jams. Quality air would be a big reason. |
Conclusion | So those were benefits to a 20 minute city. Travel, saving money and mental health. This topic was very interesting and I hope that this idea goes forward into countries. In fact cities like Paris, Barcelona and even New York. |
