Everyone Can Change the World
What can we do to help protect the environment? It seems useless to just pick up a piece of trash, but what will happen if you keep doing it every day? Tommy Kleyn, an ordinary man from the Netherlands, may give you the answer.
Tommy Kleyn walked past a polluted river on his way to work every day. It used to be a beautiful view, but the trash on the bank made it dirty and smelly. So Tommy decided to pick up the trash along the river a little bit at a time after work. "It took me about 30 minutes to fill one garbage bag with trash, but one garbage bag didn't seem helpful in a place as polluted as this. I decided to fill one bag of trash each day as I passed by," Tommy said. Every day, Tommy took pictures of the river and shared them on his Facebook page. To his surprise, in just six days, he had made great progress with his cleanup effort. He felt happy and kept doing it. Gradually, more and more people knew about Tommy's story. Other people in the community began following in his footsteps and cleaning up trash on their way home, too.
"The idea is to encourage people to fill one garbage bag with litter each day. It only takes 30 minutes, but it really makes a difference and you will be amazed at how good you feel afterwards," he said.
People from all over the world have been moved and inspired by Tommy's story. No effort is useless if we keep doing it every day. Ordinary people like you and me can also make a difference to the world we live in if we take actions right now.

Choose your parks carefully. You don't want to be bored at an amusement park. If you're happy at a theme park, you will have the best time ever. You may want to ask your friends' opinion and facts about the park.
②
The benefit of getting a map is that if it shows a busy route, you can find another route to go to, so you can get there earlier.
③
Pack up stuff you might need on your trip. Also, you might want suntan lotion if it gets too sunny. Make sure you have shoes that are comfortable. Theme parks are usually spread out all over the place, and they are huge.
④
Make sure you stop and eat for a while. You need to stay happy in the park, not just enjoy the rides.
