Daisy froze. She looked around, but saw no one. ‘Turn that tap off. You’re wasting water!’ The voice sounded impatient.
This time Daisy obeyed. ‘Who … who are you?’ Daisy’s voice was faint.
‘I’m a drop of water. It’s not easy for me to get here. Do you know where I’m from?’
‘From the tap, I suppose,’ said Daisy.12Pretend you are Daisy.React what you did when the water drop said the following sentences.

Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I sped down the mountain into the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River carried me to a lake. I relaxed there for a few days, and then I travelled a long way and ran into the Huangpu River. Then it was time to get cleaned up.’
‘Cleaned up?’ Daisy sounded puzzled.1212-81234567891011Daisy! Since the water drop has told you a lot about his journey, can you tell me how he comes to the Huangpu River in Shanghai?1212-91234567891011‘Yes. I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water treatment works. They gave me a thorough cleaning and added a few chemicals to me. Then I travelled in the pipes under the streets. I waited there until you called me, and here I am.’
Daisy said, ‘So this is the end of your journey.’
‘No. When you’ve finished with me, I’ll go to a sewage plant. Then they’ll pump me into the river and I’ll be back in the sea again.’
‘Again?’12Pretend you are the water drop. Wilson has gotsome questions to ask you. Can you answer his questions?12-101234567891011How were you after you arrived in the Huangpu River?So where did you go then?What did the people there do to you?Where were you before I turned on the tap?Is that the end of your journey?Where will you go then?Why will you go there?What’s your next destination?1212-111234567891011‘Yes. That’s where I came from in the first place. Remember not to waste me or pollute me. I’m precious, like liquid gold. See you.’
‘Wait a minute. What do you mean by liquid gold?’ But there was no reply. The water had gone.
Daisy came out of the bathroom. Her brother said, ‘Who were you talking to?’
‘I was talking to the water,’ Daisy said.
‘Sometimes you’re strange, Daisy,’ her brother said.1212-121234567891011Find a topic sentence of the story in this part ofthe story.Do you know what the water meant by ‘liquid gold’?12ComprehensionA Peter is asking Judy questions about the story.

If you have a water purifier, you can drink it directly from the tap. In most parts of the UK, the USA and Australia, you can drink water directly from the tap. Distilled water is water that has been made into steam and then into water again, to purify it. This removes salt and minerals from it. Mineral water is more natural as the minerals are left in the water. It is supposed to be healthy to drink.ConsolidationWorkbook 8B, pages 14 and 15.
