The Ways to Save Water

Everybody knows less than 1% of all the water on Earth can be used by people. The rest is salt water and we can't drink it, wash with it, or use it to water plants.

As our population grows, more and more people are using up more water. So it is important that we use our water wisely and not waste it. Here are many simple things we can do to save water.

Turn off the Tap! Just by turning off the tap while you brush your teeth or wash your dishes in the morning and before bedtime.

Shower Power! Taking a shower uses much less water than filling up a bathtub. If you do take a bath, be sure to plug the drain (堵上排水管) right away and adjust (调节) the temperature as you fill the tub.

Fix That Leak(泄漏)! Fixing a toilet leak is a great way to reduce household water use. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day.

Don't need a Hose(软管). An easy way to save water is to use a bucket (水桶) when washing cars and bikes. Washing your bike or car with a bucket instead of a hose saves a lot of water. A hose can waste 6 gallons per minute if you leave it running, but using a bucket only uses a few gallons!

People are always trying to live a healthy life. You might have read so much on this topic. The following ideas may sound strange, but they can really help you.

Exercise when you are tired.

After a long and tiring day of study, exercising might not sound like a good idea, but it should. In fact, physical activities can provide you with the missing energy. Research shows that exercising for just 30 minutes can make you feel good!

Write by hand to help the brain be active.

Although writing something using a computer is faster, it is much better to remember the whole thing by writing it down by hand. When you read a handwritten text, naturally it's easier for your brains to remember the information.

Spare more time for yourself.

By sparing the time for yourself and just being alone for a while, you can have a chance to think and get to know yourself better. And you won't behave impulsively (冲动地).

Drink hot drinks on a hot day.

What cools more on a hot summer morning, cold water or hot water? The study shows that the hot water does make people feel cooler. When you are drinking something hot, the body will feel the change in temperature and increase the perspiration(流汗), which helps you cool down!

China is sharing its experience and lessons in the battle(战斗) of the COVID-19(新冠病毒) and trying its best to provide help to other countries affected by the disease.

As the spread of the virus in China has been basically prevented but global infections(全球感染）are greatly increasing. China has sent expert teams to several countries, including Italy, Serbia, Pakistan, Iran, England ,France, Germany and Burma, to offer medical help. At the same time, China has provided some medical supplies and protective equipment, such as test boxes, Chinese medicine, breathing machines and masks(口罩) to some foreign countries and regions(地区).

China has given away 20 million dollars to the WHO to help the organization to try to stop the spread of virus and help improve the public health of other developing countries. Chinese health departments and experts also have kept in communication with more than 100 countries and regions.

During earlier stages of the domestic(国内) outbreak, China received much support from the international society. Now we have passed the most difficult time of the battle.

These medical measures have shown that China is a cohesive(凝聚力的) and responsible country that is willing to bring advantages to the world.

In the next step, China will deepen international cooperation (合作) on developing drugs and vaccines(疫苗) against the virus and guide foreign medical aid networks in over 50 foreign countries to deal with the disaster of the virus. China also will hold the meeting of G20 health ministers.
