9.March 22nd every year has been the World Water Day since 1993.Everyone knows that over 70% of our planet is covered with water,but do you know that only 3% of the water is fresh and less than 1% of this fresh water is available for human use?
Water shortage
The World Bank reports that 80countries now have water shortages,while 40% of the more than 2billion people,have no access to clean water.Fresh water is such a life-or-death issue(问题) in many parts of the world that every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.
How to save water
Turn off the tap while you brush you teeth in the morning and before bedtime,and you can save up to 8gallons of water!That adds up to more than 200gallons a month,enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6small sharks!
Keep your shower under 5minutes long.In fact,a 5-minute shower uses more water than a person living in poverty in a developing country uses in an entire day.
Fix the leak.If your toilet has a leak,you could be wasting about 200gallons of water every day.That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50times for no reason!
We each share responsibility for the sustainable management(可持续管理) of our water resources,which means using less water at home,in the workplace,at school,on holidays,on the farm,…everyone,everywhere,every time.

17.A.Connect with Your Audience   B.Get Your Facts Straight
C.Choose a Good Topic          D.Be Prepared for Mishaps
E.Ask Proper Questions         F.Learn some Useful Tips on Presentation

76.In order to present the best presentation and eliminate room for error,you need to keep in mind certain guidelines.Here's are some of my ideas for presenting quality presentation that demand genuine attention from your listeners.F
77.Picking out a topic is the hard part,when it comes to choosing from a list of presentation subjects.It has to be interesting,impactful and unique,therefore it is crucial to choose something you care about rather than randomly selecting one.Ask yourself if it covers angles-is it informative?Will it keep my listeners hooked?Will it create an air of boredom?Will I be able to get all my facts and research done?Is it appealing to me,but not to them?C
78.There's nothing more annoying than have someone blabber on about a topic he/she hasn't done extensive research on.It is obvious from the way they speak,how monotonous their tones sound and how robotic their movement and gestures are.So don't be that someone.Take the effort to learn as much as you can.Make it matter to you,and remember how it can impact your listeners,and enlighten them on things they didn't know about at all.B
79.No one is perfect,and there are bound to be mistakes or circumstances that you didn't count on and couldn't avoid.You could stutter with a word,mix up slides,or forget some important sheets of your presentation and so on.Straighten up.Crack a minor joke in your defense.In other words improvise and don't beat yourself up about it or else your presentation will end in disaster.Don't let it ruin the rest of it,and finish the presentation as planned,so that people think more of how well it ended.D
80.The best thing about presenting a topic is eye contact.If you are able to say it by heart,and not by looking at a piece of paper,you will have mastered the most effective presentation technique.Memorize your lines,and points,and only glance at your notes occasionally if you think you may forget something.In the end,if you think that you are well prepared to answer questions,then by all means invite them.A.

[2]There are certain"safe"topics that people usually make small talk about.The weather is probably the number one thing.Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation.Another topic that is generally safe is current events,such as sports news and entertainment news.If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common,that may also be acceptable to talk about.Negative comments about another person shouldn't be made:when you don't know a person well you cannot be sure who his friends are.

[5]There are different reasons why people use small talk.The first is to break an uncomfortable silence.Another reason,however,is simply to kill time.That is why it is so common to make small talk when people are waiting for something.
