4th Grade Assignment


My daughter chose a quote by Mark Twain:

If we were meant to talk more than listen we would have two mouths and one ear.


He assignment was to put it into her own words - which she did, and then give two examples that were not close to each other.

Her first example was:

I talk a lot in class so I don't listen that much, and if I had 2 mouths and one ear I would have to listen harder more than talk harder.


For the life of me I cannot help her think of another example that would fit this quote. I am really trying to let her do it and put it in her own words (like the first one). Can anyone think of another example so I could lead her down a path where she could come up with something by herself?

Thanks!

My mom used to tell me "You have two ears and one mouth, so you should listen twice as much as you talk"

It would be a stetch and require some explanation, but "Still waters run deep."
