The drought has made some students learn how important it is 55 (save) water. Students in Huizhou went on the street to encourage others to take part in water-saving 56 (activity). One student said, “I have heard that some children in drought-hit areas don’t have enough drinking water. They have to drink dirty water. I feel 57 (real) sad about that.” That’s why he decided to take shorter showers only twice a week to save water.

A bottle of water may not be so important to you, 51 it can save people who live in drought-hit (遭受旱灾的) areas in China.
Some places in Southwest China have gone through a serious drought 52 the past few months. Rice and vegetables are dying, the ground is cracked (干裂), and wells and rivers are drying up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty 53 (find) safe drinking water.
However, many people are helping out by giving water, money and other things to those in need. For example, 900 students in Xi’an 54 (buy) over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money and wrote wishes on the bottles like “I hope you get more rain there. I hope you are happy.”
The drought has made some students learn how important it is 55 (save) water. Students in Huizhou went on the street to encourage others to take part in water-saving 56 (activity). One student said, “I have heard that some children in drought-hit areas don’t have enough drinking water. They have to drink dirty water. I feel 57 (real) sad about that.” That’s why he decided to take shorter showers only twice a week to save water.
Water is 58 (value). We should all do our parts to save water by turning off 59 tap when we don’t use it, fixing broken taps, and taking shorter showers. Every little bit 60 (help)!
