  A Thirsty World

Three-fourths of the earth’s surface is covered by water, some of which is frozen and most of which is salty. In fact, less than one percent left for all the living things.

Now fresh water is becoming scare, but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of people. Some industries also use amounts of fresh water in the production of things such as steel, paper, and rubber. These factories have polluted water flow into rivers without making it clean. What’s more, people in the city have much dirtied water piped into ditches after cooking every day.

Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year 2003. This means that we must find new ways of saving it or producing it. Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from being polluted. Deep wells are also being dug, and rainwater is being collected in huge artificial lakes. In one way or another, they hope to provide enough water to satisfy the needs of their people. For example, one important way of producing water is to distill(用蒸馏法提取) it from sea water. After the salt has been removed, sea water can be used not only for drinking but also for industry and irrigation. However, the equipment for distillation process is very expensive. Distilled water might be as dear as gold if pollution goes on.

Answer 1

We Need a Green Environment

Though the earth is covered by water, we are living in a world thirsty for water for many reasons. Therefore, to save water, some nations develop new projects, such as using distillation process to make fresh water.

When we explore into the reasons, we find that much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. For example, air and noise pollution is produced by cars that carry us fast and conveniently. In fact, people keep polluting the earth this way or that. It is necessary for government to pass laws to stop polluting the environment. For example, factories should be ordered to make the dirty water clean before it flows out into rivers. Besides, people should be more aware of this serious problem and take actions to protect our earth. As for us students, deeds are louder than speech. We should stop littering, and try to use those things that can be recycled. Only when we realize the importance can we win the fight against pollution.
