Today is the day that we have opened the world's largest swimming pool. Today, we have opened a swimming pool bigger than a football field! Hopefully, this event will make people think about the amount of water in the world. I hate to waste all of this water to get people's attention. Today, I cut the ribbon. The pool was opened officially for everyone! Our community swimming pool is the largest one yet, with thousands of gallons of water. I stop the cheer and step up at the podium. "Attention everybody!" I say. "I am sorry to disrupt this fun, but have you noticed how much water is being used?" I ask. Everyone is quiet. "It is okay to use this water for our own leisure, but some people cannot afford this much fresh water to drink with. Just something for you all to think about." I step down the podium. My speech is done. I expect to hear the people continue to play, but notice everyone coming out of the pool. They start to leave the area. I then hear one person say, "I'm going straight home and collecting some fresh water for a good cause!"
