Jack and Sally are brother and sister. They are twins. They like swimming and riding bikes. They like flying kites, too. They often (经常) run with the kites near the river . The kites are very high. They look very happy (高兴)

    But not all of their favourite games are the same. Jack likes playing football and Sally likes playing basketball. Jack likes jumping high, he thinks it's easy, but Sally thinks it's very hard. Sally likes making something, but Jack can't . Sally can sing well and Jack can throw the yo-yo very well.

    Of all the things we eat and drink, water is the most important. Nature has a great water system. Water is everywhere. It is in the air. It forms (组成) lakes and rivers. Water is in every living thing. It is in the most part of all the animals, plants and human beings (人类).

    People can use the water to carry goods and go around the world. People can also use the water to swim, have a bath, wash the food and clothes. Water is so important for every living thing, but man is polluting (污染) it. They throw rubbish into rivers. They pour waste water into lakes, rivers and seas. We must stop people from polluting the water right now. If not, the last drop of water will be our tear drop.
