Why is it important to make Wise Choices?

Have you ever thought about your choices?  Wise choices help you realise you could be making a bad decision. Making a wise choice leads you to a right decision. But we haven’t made a wise choice and it’s affecting our environment. As you already know, the ocean is slowly becoming polluted as others haven’t thought about their actions and have mistakenly misplaced their rubbish, therefore having animals die slowly and painfully.

Due to the actions of others, animals have to be cautious of their surroundings because we haven’t made the best decision. Everywhere around the world the air or sea is polluted by plastic for instance the waters in Thailand. Those waters have been badly polluted resulting in the water turning black, that’s the result of our carelessness. If we made wise choices beforehand beaches, air and waters would be healthier. Have you ever thought about the consequences of leaving rubbish on the sidewalks? How does it make you feel if I told you that you could possibly be ending a whole existence of sea creatures? Think about it.

Imagine this.. every sea animal has a plastic ring around their neck gasping for air. Those breaths became shorter every inhale leaving them to slowly suffocate and die. Do you want to know the reason why they were suffocating? Because of our careless actions, we didn’t think about the consequences of having plastic flow down the drain. If we made a wise decision before dropping our litter we could’ve saved so many animals.

We make wise choices because it helps us realise the bad things that could possibly happen. Wise choices help shape our future and help us make wise decisions. We need to make a change now so we can have a fresh and healthy future!

This week in writing, we practised writing explanations for our assessments next term. Our topic was about why we need to make wise choices. Our explanations tells others why we should make wise choices when it comes to pollution. The process for this explanation was doing 5 minutes of planning, 40 minutes of writing as this would be an appropriate time for writing our assessments. After we proof read our writing we did DRAFT (delete, rearrange, add, fix and talk) so we could check for any mistakes.
