  Water is a kind of liquid.It has no taste or smell.Water is useful and is important to us.Why? We use water to water the plants.We use water to wash our face or to have a bath.We drink water or we will die…Not too long ago, there was a man called Jacques Cousteau.He loved the beautiful colors, and the beautiful fish in the sea.However, when he returned some years later, the colorful coral reefs were dead and grey because the factory near the sea poured waste water into the sea.Jacques Cousteau decided to tell people how important it was to save the environment under the sea.He started the“Cousteau Society”to help protect life in the sea.Now there are over 30000 members all over the world.Since water covers most of the earth, Cousteau knew that we should keep the sea clean.We should not litter the sea, and should clean up the dirty parts.As water is very important to our environment, he encouraged everyone to take part in protecting our lakes, rivers, sea and ocean.

  There are still a few people who are not protecting the water now in the world.For example, some factories pour waste things into the rivers, lakes or into the sea nearby.The water there has become very dirty and we can't use them at all.Although there are seventy-five percent of water in the world, we can only use fresh water, that there is only a little.So we should use little water when we need to use it.For example, I do not use too much water when I am washing my face or having a bath…It is important for us to keep the water clean.You may ask yourself, have I ever poured or thrown dirty things into the water? If your answer is“No”, that means you have already helped to protect the environment.It is our duty to protect the environment.You may ask yourself again, have I ever helped to clean up the water? If your answer is“Yes”, that means that you have already done something useful to improve the water.If we use up all the water, it is difficult for us to get it from anywhere, including the universe.It is terrible to think that people are too thirsty to live! I believe, that if everyone helps to protect the water, the water must be protected.You do not want to“kill”your son or your grandson, do you? So now let us to protect the water! Please don't let the last drop of water on the earth is we human's tear!

Many young people all over the world love to travel and see the world. Have you heard of backpackers? They are normally young people who travel cheaply with just one bag and comfortable walking boots. They buy local food in supermarkets to save money and at the same time become friends with local people.
Some people prefer adventure tours. Brave people may try bungee(蹦极) jumping from the bridge overlooking the Victoria Falls in Africa with only a rope around their legs. Some enjoy the challenge of rock climbing in the Alps in Switzerland. Others may go ice skiing in the Rocky Mountains in the USA.
Have you ever heard of an ecotourism (生态旅游)? It means a holiday in which people come close to nature but are very careful not to destroy the nature beauty or living things in the area. How can this be possible? Let's read an interview with people who enjoyed a swimming with dolphins tour.
Interviewer what was the most exciting part of your holiday?
Sharon from South Africa I felt excited when I heard the sound of wild dolphins beside me in the water and then swimming directly under me. An image I will never forget.
Xavier from Portugal There were two dolphins below us swimming downwards. One stopped and looked back at me as if to say “What are those strange things?” Fantastic!
Interviewer Did you feel that your holiday helped local people and areas to keep their beautiful environment?
Jane from New Zealand The hotel and the whale and dolphin watching companies hire local people. They used to hunt those whales and dolphins, but now they can earn money from tourism and mustn’t kill whales and dolphins. Not many boats are used at the same time so these animals aren't disturbed. The boat companies also work to educate the local schools about the importance of protecting these wonderful animals.
Helen from England I am glad they are not killing the whales and dolphins any more, but the cars and boats use fuel(燃料) which could cause pollution and make the sea dirtier.
Well, what do you think? Thousands of people visit the Forbidden City or the Great Wall of China every year. Do you think that's a good thing, or do you feel that China's important tourist attractions can be affected? Are there any ways of sharing your treasures (珍宝) but keeping them in good condition?
