I want to tell you about our Earth?

I want to tell you about our Earth.

I want to say what people ruins and want they can lose.

Many people want to save the Earth, but they don`t know how to do it.

They don`t know how to protect wild animals, plants, and how to keep water clean and air fresh.

Water is very important in the life of people.

There is a lot of water on our planet.

It is in rivers, oceans, lakes and seas.

At the same time there is a little water on the planet.

In many lakes and rivers the water is very dirty.

Sometimes people can`t swim in seas, rivers and lakes because water is dirty.

In many places water is not able to drink and it is dangerous to use it when you cook.

Even fish die in such water.

Some people`s activities do a lot of harm to the forests.

People cut down trees to build farms, homes and roads.

Many animals and plants lose their homes.

Many of them die.

This is bad for the air of the Earth too.

Modern plants and factories send a lot of smoke in the atmosphere.

This is very bad, because nowadays it`s difficult to breathe in big cities.

So, the problem now is to protect life on the Earth, and to save our planet for the future.

I believe that we must think about our planet and we mustn`t cut down trees, dump to the rivers.

Then in the future our world will be beautiful.

Помогите пожалуйста Long - long ago in the Crimean village there were problems with water?

Помогите пожалуйста Long - long ago in the Crimean village there were problems with water.

So, the men dug seven wells that started to give some water to the local people.

Once, a German man was chosen as the head of the village.

He was a wise man and he offered the people to take water free.

So everybody was happy to get as much water as they needed.

That man had seven sons.

The youngest, whose name was Fritz was the healthiest and strongest in the family.

In his childhood he noticed that when some water was taken from the wells, it splashed on the ground.

So he didn’t like that and once said to his father, “When I grow up, I’ll ask the village dwellers to pay for the water from the wells.

They splash too much water on the ground”.

“On, no!

” said his father, “water is the most precious thing in this land.

It should be free.

” A few years passed.

The old German died.

Then his six sons died of some disease one by one, and Fritz was made head of the village.

He immediately made his wish come true.

He said to the villagers that from that day they should pay for the water from the wells.

All the wells were locked and Fritz kept the keys to the wells.

One day the village dwellers decided to rebel against Fritz because he told them they wouldn’t have any water for one day.

An old soldier came to the village.

He was tired and thirsty and asked for some pure water.

Fritz didn’t let him drink because the soldier had no money to pay for it.

The soldier begged Fritz to help him.

But it was all in vain.

When the soldier was dying, he cursed Fritz.

After his death one of the wells was open but the water disappeared from it.

When Fritz’s servant opened the other six wells and found no water there, he told it to his master.

Fritz was furious.

Thus he was punished for his cruelty.

5. Retell the story as if you are one of the village dwellers.

Speak about your attitude to Fritz.
