Activity 2:

Many months of little or no rainfall often result in the water levels in reservoirs dropping to worrying low levels. As a result, the relevant authorities are forced to set guidelines and place restrictions regarding the use of piped water.

Once considered an unlimited resource free for the taking, clean water is becoming a scarce and valuable commodity. Though most countries still have adequate supplies, continued depletion of wells and springs, wasteful use as well as pollution will reduce what is available in the future.

As countries develop, competition for water among industry, agriculture and domestic use will likely intensify, thus inflating the cost of water. 

To have enough water in the long run, we now must pay more attention to using it efficiently and keeping it cleaner as we do so.

66. Which word in the passage suggests a hike in the price of water?

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's                                      COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around.
