The Glass Factory

Today our school of art class and the chinese culture went to the glass factory only about 7 and 8~9 graders few students.
We talked together at after lunch 12.50 and than we went out and walked to the glass factory.
It was pretty cool, that's a factory which show's us how the glass are made of and how does it make into a regular glass or cup or any shapes made by glass.
This is the first time I went to the real glass factory to see how the glass were made, it was pretty cool they put the glass into the big thing with fire and hot thingsnand than melt it and when it went out with a big long stick and they but it into a bowl and than try to make the shape and than to cool it with water and blow it because there is a hole in the top of it so you can make the air in it and make shape's rither cup or anything, and they also use to use the thing to shape it and than but they have to keep turning the glass because it was hot temperture and melted and soft if they don't turn it they will just change th shape and drop it. And we also see the glasses a area of putting the glasses which is no need and they make all the no need glasses and melt it and than make it into a box, AND IT MAKES ME KNOW THAT WE CAN'T WASTE GLASSES IF WE NO NEED WE HAVE TO RECYCLE IT AND THAN IT WILL WENT TO NEW FACTORY AND MAKE NEW GLASSES AGAIN!!!!! and than well, it smells a bit bad, SO WE HAVE TO WASH IT BEFORE WE RECYCLE :)))) and we also see people over there making glass with some machine and than there is some cool people which they use hand to touch the fire :O:O:O so coooool!!! and they showed us how to make it and lots of shape of things that is made by glass, we also went to a room that which all showed the thing that they have made and it's pretty and they talked about the history about how it made and stuff and they talked about also when do they made things or animals ... etc. And we interveiwed some people which work there and the person that I interveiw is the one who is making the shape of glass and than he told me in this factory everyone have worked more than 30 years, IT'S REALLY FUN TODAY but i hope we can make glasses too :( just too dangerous maybe, but it's fun , and the walking was EXTREMLY BAD AND TIRING!!!!!!!

oh and one of the funny thing is when the person says"we don't usually make the animals and show it , only for you guys "
and Ms.shelah tought is "we don't use to work it today but we made it to GIVE IT FOR YOU"

it's really funny:)))

* one of the thing i notice of their factory is everyone work very hard they don't even have time to talk so we don't get much time to interveiw them we just asked the people who bring us there.
and maybe we think is fun to make glasses, but it's actually pretty dangerous that will hurt ourself badly.


I WANNA VISIT NEXT TIME AGAIN IF I HAVE CHANCE:D
