The bus stop outside our school had no shade in the afternoon. When we asked students where they waited, some pointed to a tree far from the sign. They could not always see the bus from there.

Our council measured the shadow at three different times and took photographs. We wanted to suggest a roof, but the sidewalk was narrow. A teacher helped us contact the town office and ask what was possible.

We sent our observations and two ideas: a small shaded area or a safer place for the sign. We did not claim to know which could be built. The first step was showing the problem clearly: students needed to wait somewhere they could see the bus without standing in full sun.

学校外的公交站,下午没有阴凉处。我们问学生平时站在哪里等车,有人指向离站牌很远的一棵树;在那里,他们并不总能看见公交车。

学生会在三个不同时段测量阴影,还拍了照片。我们想建议建个顶棚,可人行道很窄。老师帮我们联系镇公所,了解哪些方案可行。

我们提交了观察记录和两个想法:设一小片遮阴区,或者给站牌换个更安全的位置。我们没有声称哪一个一定能建成。第一步,是把问题说明白:学生需要站在能看见公交车、又不必一直晒太阳的地方候车。
