Clean water is not only important for people to produce food，but necessary for our life. However，many people in Asia and Africa don’t have enough clean water to use. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day of dirty water or lack(缺乏)of water.

Farmers use 70－85% of the world fresh water to produce food. People usually don’t pay much attention to how much water industry(工业)uses，but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water in developed countries.

Home use takes up(占据)only 8% in the world. But as cities grow，more water will be used. The local government has to try to make people use less water.

In 60% of European cities，people are saving water by using less. They even keep waste water for other use.

In Australia，the government has encouraged people to collect rainwater and recycle water from showers for a second use.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program to encourage families and businesses to check their water use and save more water. Scientists and the UN are looking for good water management as the key to solving the problem.We can all work together to protect our fresh water in our daily life.

Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world.

A very important world problem is the growth of population on the earth. The population of the world today is more than 6,500,000,000. That is a great number and we know it quite well. The important thing is not how large the population of the world is now, but is the rate (速度) of the growth. It is about 1.63% every year after the number of dead people has been taken away.

To give you some ideas of the birth rate, look at the second hand of your watch. Every second, four babies are born in the world. Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! You can not speak quickly enough to keep up with the birth rate. The population is growing faster and faster. So it goes on, hour after hour. In one day, people have to find food for over 350,000 mouths more.

This great growth of population will make a big problem by the year 2013—there will be as many as 7,000,000,000 people on the earth! So this is one of the biggest problems that you are going to meet within your life.
