    Asking for information or help is very common and necessary (必要的). In English,"{#blank#}1{#/blank#} are the restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are？?" are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} requests—both are correct English, but the first could sound {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. It's important to use correct languages, but sometimes this is not {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. We need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.

    In English, just {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in Chinese, we change the way we speak when {#blank#}6{#/blank#} with different people. The {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you use might depend on whom you are speaking to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} how well you know them. Usually in English polite questions are longer and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} extra language such as "Could you please...?" or "Can I ask...?" Sometimes, we might even need to spend some time {#blank#}10{#/blank#} into a question or request.

    For most of us in China, we only have to turn on the tap to get clean water. We seldom think twice about where it comes from.

    Day after day, thousands of children in poor countries have to{#blank#}1{#/blank#}hours walking for miles to collect water. What's more, the water is dirty and can cause serious diseases, such as diarrhea(腹泻). It's hard to believe, but every 20 seconds a child dies as a result of a water-related disease.

    The international water-aid charity called Just a Drop{#blank#}2{#/blank#}clean water to some of the poorest areas in the world, by building wells, pipelines(永管)and toilets. The charity has helped about 1.5 million people {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

    Betty, from Uganda, is just one of the people who have been helped by Just al Drop. 11-yearold Betty had to walk two miles every day, carrying two heavy cans{#blank#}4{#/blank#}dirty pond water before Just a Drop placed a well in her village. "I used to get sick from the water. Now, I don't have to walk long distances and I feel much safer with this clean water."
