Introduction
Water is one of the most important things on Earth. All living things people, animals, and plants need water to live. We use water every day for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and growing food. But sometimes, people waste water by leaving taps open or using more than they need. If we keep wasting water, one day there might not be enough for everyone. That’s why we must learn to save water and use it wisely. Saving water helps our planet and makes sure there will be enough for the future.
Task
1. Drawing Task:
Draw a picture showing ways people can save water at home or at school (for example, turning off the tap, collecting rainwater, or watering plants with a bucket).
2. Matching Task:
Match the pictures to the correct actions:
Tap turned off → Saving water
