Read paragraph 4. Find the two quotes from Dr. Jane Goodall and Paraphrase the quotes.
“It is by acting together, in this exciting way, that we can involve thousands — millions — of people, and this is what is going to change the world.”
“Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”
Only by acting together can we ask thousands — millions —
of people to take action to create change and influence the
change that is needed in our communities and our world.
Each one of us is very important. Each one of us has our own responsibility to take. A small action will lead to a huge change especially when everyone works together.
Dr. Goodall’s quotes mean that changing the role is individual act, because there are millions of people who can make a difference if they all act on their own.
3. Do you have any suggestions on how to solve the problem
A solution would be to make them understand that even the smallest action can change the world, so they should take actions whenever possible for the environment, animals and their community. For example, they should turn the tap off when brushing their teeth, turn the light off when they leave a room and pick up even little pieces of litter they dropped on the road.
