Question

Water is the root(根本) of life. No one can live without water. On the one hand, although seventy-five percent of the world is covered with water, about ninety-seven percent of it is sea water, or salt water. So the water we could drink is really limited. On the other hand, because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, more and more drinking water is needed. We should do something to save water in our everyday life.

● Try to fix dripping taps (滴水的龙头) or leaky(漏的) toilets at your home.

● Turn the tap off as much as you can—don’t use running water to wash your hands, brush your teeth, wash vegetables and so on.

● Never pour away waste water when there may be another use for it such as watering a plant or a garden, or for cleaning.

● Do not often water your lawn(草坪). As a general rule, lawns only need watering every 5 to 7 days in summer and every 10 to 14 days in winter.

● Take short showers and save the baths.
