Most fourth graders can show a younger child how to tie shoes. The strange thing is this: it is easy to show but harder to tell. On the telephone, the instructions would sound impossible:

Begin with a simple knot.

Cross one string behind and under another string.

Now pull the ends outward.

Then form a loop with the shoestring in your right hand.

The directions make it sound like you need three hands to tie your shoes! They just don't make sense. One thing is clear, though: the best way to teach a beginner is to show them. After a few tries, children see that they don't need extra hands to tie their shoes. Good luck!

Explanation:

3rd person, because the narrator is out of the story but explains the feeling of the main character

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
