Question

【題目】

Human needs water, and every drop of water is precious. On March 22nd, World Water Day is a day to celebrate water and make a difference for people who do not have the water they need.

The truth about the world

The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink? That’s around 1 in 10 people in the world.

But what does this mean?

If we drink dirty water or we can’t wash our hands when we go to the toilet, we can catch diseases from the bacteria (細(xì)菌) and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from dirty water. That’s around 1,4000 children every day! In Ghana, 85% of all disease are from dirty water, and in Nicaragua, 75% of the people don't have clean drinking water. Also, in some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water, they can't go to school so they don't learn how to read and write and don’t get an education.

Water for everyone

In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. People organize events to raise money and this money helps countries like Nigeria or Nicaragua get clean water to its people so that children don't die from diarrhea (腹瀉) and so that they can go to school.

For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 101an, others climb mountains or even jump from an aeroplane and skydive to the ground. At one school children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6 km with 6 litres of water so they can see how it feels to walk along distance carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money to do these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
