Everyone knows water is important to all living things. But do you know these interesting 1about water?
Without water, the Earth would look 2the Moon. People can live for a long time without food, but only 3 days without water. Scientists say about 70% of the human body is made up of water. Water4 up about 83% of our blood, 75% of our brain, and 80% of our lungs(肺）. About 95% of a tomato is water, and about 80% of an apple is water. So 5can we do to help with water problems?
Keep a shower to 10 minutes or6 time. It helps save much water. Use a broom to sweep the floor, the stair, the garage(车库），or the sidewalk instead of water.

Water is very important to us. We cannot live without it.
There is a lot of water on the Earth, but we cannot use most of it. About 97. 5% of the Earth's water is salty. Most of the fresh water is snow and ice near the North and South Poles(极).
We can only use less than one per cent of the water on the Earth. We use water from both lakes and rivers. Some of the water evaporates and then becomes rain. Of course we use rain water for farms and other things. We use this water again and again.
Sometimes the Earth's water is in the wrong place. There is a lot of rain in the tropics(热带地区)，but it is difficult to have farms in the tropics. Most of the land there is not very rich. Some desert land is rich, but there is only a little water in the desert.
Water is a problem for many people in the world.
Water has no colour, no shape, no taste and no smell. Water is everywhere. It is in the ocean, in the sea, in the river and in the lake. Water is (use). We use water to cook rice. We use water to take showers. We use water to put out fires. We can swim the lake and the sea. People in China have Dragon Boat Race in the river.
Water is (value). It brings us happiness. Nothing can live without it. some people waste water and pollute water every day. They keep (throw)rubbish into rivers and lakes. Many (factory)even put waste water into rivers. Let's do (we)best to save water keep the water clean. Don't forget (turn)off the tap after you wash hands. Don't throw rubbish into rivers and lakes.
