水
Water is very important for living things./ Without water there can be no life on Earth./ All plants and animals need water. / Man also needs water./ We need water to drink, to cook food and to clean ourselves./ Water is needed in farms, factories, offices, schools, and families./ Water is found in seas, rivers and lakes./ It can be found everywhere in the world, and it can also be found in the air./ We can’t see or feel the water when it is part of air./ Clouds are also made of water./ They are little drops of water./ When water freezes, it is ice./ So ice is water too./ Water really does surround us all the time.
