We are lucky to live in a rich country where we have many things．However, most of us usually  1   some things．

Electricity is one thing  2  we waste most．Lights, TVs,  3  and other things are often kept on even when no one is using them．We should turn them off when we do not need them．It  4  less than a second to do it．Anyhow, not wasting electricity save money, because we do not have to  5  the electricity we do not use．

The second thing that we often waste is water． Fresh water is precious*,  6  it shouldn’t be wasted．It is only a simple matter of turning off a tap*．I am sure  7  can do this easily if he wants to．

 8  big waste is food．My mother  9  cook so much food that much of it was thrown away．I told her we had wasted so much  10  ．She thought I was right and now cooks __11_  what we can eat．

    It is not   12   to be wasteful．I find there is a simple  13   of not wasting things．That is to use only what we   14  ．Do not touch what we do not need．   15   this way we can stop being wasteful．
