And discuss with your partner. Making a Difference Every Sunday morning I run around a lake near my home and I see the same elderly woman sitting by the water, doing something. This Sunday I stopped running and walked over to her. I saw three turtles in a box. She was carefully scrubbing a fourth turtle with a brush. “Hello,” I said. “I see you here every Sunday morning. I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.” She smiled. “I’m cleaning off their shells,” she replied. “Anything on a turtle’s shell can stop him from swimming. It can also weaken the shell over time.” “That’s really nice of you!” I said. She went on, “I spend several hours each Sunday morning relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my own way of making a difference.” “But don’t you think you could spend your time better? I mean, 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how can you truly make a difference?” The woman laughed. She then looked down at the turtle and said, “If this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made all the difference in the world.” You can change the world — maybe not all at once, but one person, one animal, or one thing at a time. Wake up every morning and believe what you do can make a difference. It does. While reading * True(T) or False(F)？ ( )1. The writer helped the woman clean off the turtles’ shells this Sunday. ( )2.
