BR 2-13: Wonderful Water


People, animals, and plants need water. (P.23)

This time, I’m going to introduce everybody a book about water. About 70 percent of Earth is covered with water and about 3 percent of the water on Earth is fresh water. Do you know fresh water? Most of it is frozen from ice. Some of the fresh water is in lakes and rivers. Some of the fresh water is in the sky. It’s the clouds and the rain. Do you feel mysterious that water is in the sky? I feel so mysterious this fact and the clouds are made in water.
Next, the human body contains lots of water. Our body is about 70 percent water, our brain is about 85 percent water, and our bones are about 33 percent water. Have you ever known this fact? It is not too much to say that we are made of water. I realized once again that water is very important for the human body. We can live for four weeks without foods, but we can’t live without water. And we have to drink about eight glasses of water every day. Do you drink a suitable amount of water every day? I have heard that the human body becomes easy to lose weight if it drinks a lot of water. And our blood is about 50 percent water.
Lastly, people, animals, and plants need water. Do you know how much water we use every day? We use about 80 liters of water when we take a bath. We use about 27 liters of water when we take a shower. We drink water and cook with water and use water for washing. We need everything in the house with a lot of water. But when there is no water, rivers and lakes become dry. Plants can’t grow and animals can’t drink and die. And if there is no food and no water to drink, people die, too. And Earth could be annihilated without water. At the first, we have to save water at home. For example, turn off the water when it doesn’t use water. Take a shower, not take a bath. Collect rainwater to water plants. Don’t throw things into rivers and lakes. People have to clean water. If we don’t use water so much, it leads to water conservation. Thank you for reading!
