Water

Did you know that much of your body is made up of water? If you didn’t have water to drink, you would die. Plants and animals must have water, too.

Water doesn’t have a smell, and it doesn’t have a taste. But we need it because it helps us to be strong. It helps plants to grow, too.

We can find water in many forms. It is in clouds and rain. It is in ice and glaciers. It is in oceans and rivers and lakes. But there are many people on the earth, and some of them don’t have much water.

It is good to save water. Turn off the tap water when you wash dishes or brush your teeth. Don’t leave the hose running. This way, everyone can enjoy a drink of water.

水

你知道你身体的大部分是由水组成的吗？如果你没有水喝，你会死的。动植物也必须有水。

水没有气味，也没有味道。但我们需要它，因为它帮助我们变得强壮。它也有助于植物生长。

我们可以找到很多形式的水。它在云和雨当中。它在冰和冰川当中。它在海洋、河流和湖泊当中。但是地球上有很多人，有些人没有多少水。

节约用水是好的。在你洗碗或刷牙时，要关掉自来水，不要让水管一直流着。这样，每个人都可以喝上水。
