EXERCISE 9
Read the passage carefully. Then answer the following question.
Do you know how important water is? All living things will die without water. We use water
in our daily lives. Besides using water for drinking, we also use water for bathing, washing and
watering the plants. Plants need water to grow and produce food. The green substance called
chlorophyll also helps the plants to produce their own food.
Water also plays another important role in human lives. For ages, people have used it as a
means of transportation. People used rafts, boats, canoes and ferries to travel on water to fulfil
their needs. With modern technologies, big ships can now travel on water faster and deliver
goods all around the world.
Looking at the impact that water has on human life, we need to appreciate water more. Steps
should be taken to conserve our natural water resources so that we will not face any problems
related to water in the future.
