A2 Reading Comprehension

Two weeks ago, I joined a volunteer group to clean a beach in Okinawa. The beach was beautiful, but there was a lot of plastic trash, like bottles and bags. Our group had 20 people, and we worked for three hours in the morning. We filled ten big bags with trash. After cleaning, we had a picnic with sandwiches and juice. A local woman taught us about sea turtles that live near the beach. She said cleaning helps protect their home. I felt proud of our work. I plan to join another volunteer event next month, maybe in a park.
