2. This text is worth reading because it shows the strength that can be found in everyone especially in young people. Greta Thunberg who is only 16 has been able to draw the attention of the whole world to a very important issue and that is an uncommon feat. The issue of climate change also affects people from all backgrounds and this makes it worth reading from everyone.
