“But does it make any difference to me?” Julie asked her science teacher. “I just don’t understand why we are learning about the ice caps melting when we don’t live near them.” “We learn about it so you can be aware of what is happening to the world, it might not be affecting us right now but eventually it will.” “So why can’t we start learning about it then, when we are affected?” “I am teaching you about it now so you will be ready and you will know what to expect.” and that is all her teacher would said.
Hello Ady,
I can see the reasoning behind you words. Despite all of the evidence, there are people who think it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t effect them yet we only have one world we all share. Well done.
My suggestion would be to take a new line as each person speaks. It helps your readers know who is speaking.

Thank you so much for the advice on my writing and thank you for reading my entry!
Well done on your entry this week Ady. I think it is an important topic that we all have to learn about. We need to understand how we each can make a difference.
Keep learning and keep making a difference to the world.

Sometimes it is difficult to understand things if you can’t see or experience them. I think you have written a story that shows this. The dialogue between the teacher and student worked well. Well done.
