    Water is very important to people. We must drink water every day. We can't live without water. Water is everywhere around us. At home, we use water to wash clothes, to wash dishes, to cook meals and so on.

    At work, people use water to put out fires, to grow vegetables, to make things in factories and so on. We can also swim in the water.

    However, there isn't much water on the earth. We must save it.

    Mike is travelling around the country in his car. One evening he is driving along a road and looking for a small hotel. Then he sees an old man at the side of the road. He stops his car and says to the old man, “I want to go to the Sun Hotel. Do you know it?"

    "Yes," the old man says. "I'II show you the way." He gets into Mike's car, and they drive off. They drive for about twelve miles. When they come to a small house, the old man says, "Stop here." Mike stops and looks at the house. "But this isn't a hotel," he says to the old man. "No," the old man answers. "This is my house. And now I'll show you the way to the Sun Hotel. Turn around and go back nine miles. Then you'll see the hotel on the left."
