Things that are easy to get are easier to be neglected, such as water. Who dare to say we can stay alive without water? However, not everybody attaches enough importance to water conservation. I do try to save water in my daily life, but I think I should do more.

Only when you truly understand how important and essentail water is to our lives, can you cherish it consciously. So, you can do such an experiment: Don’t drink water for one day or two days until you feel very thirsty! Of course, please don’t eat food containing much water, such as fruits and vegetables, let alone soup. Then, you can start to drink some water slowly… What’s your feeling? You may think it as the best thing in the world…

If there were no drinkable water in our lives one day, what would we do? If there won’t be any drinkable water in the future, what kind of lives will our descendants have? I told my mom if there were no drinkable water in the world and we humans would have to be too thirsty to live, I would choose to commit suicide (and this is the ONLY reason that I would choose to commit suicide :）

Now, spring is coming! Weather in Beijing is so dry, which makes me feel uneasy. I have to drink more water, and try to make the air around me more humid; for example, to spray some water in the room or to put wet clothes indoors.

I hope saving water is just one of the examples. There are many things that we should learn to cherish, including our lives and our offsprings…
