People need fire. Fire is useful, but sometimes it is harmful (有害的). So we should use fire correctly (正确地).
We use fire to cook food. If we eat raw (生的) meat, we may get ill. Fire gives us heat. In winter, we can make a fire and get heat.
But sometimes fire is dangerous. It can burn down a lot of things. It can kill (杀死) people with smoke. So we shouldn't play with fire.
I am a primary student. There is a small river near my house. It was a beautiful river several years ago, and we could see many fish in it. But now things are not the same as before. I find some people pour dirty water into the river every day. I think we should work together to stop polluting the river and call on more people to fight against pollution.

Water is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on the earth. All plants and animals need water. Man also needs water. We need water to drink, to cook food and to clean ourselves. Water is needed in farms, factories, offices, schools and families.
Water is found in seas, rivers and lakes. It can be found everywhere in the world, and it can also be found in the air. We cannot see or feel the water when it is part of air. Clouds are also made of water. They are little drops of water. When water freezes, it is ice. So ice is also water.
