Know the content of the text
Read the text and visualize what you read.
Are there any people living in the desert The answer is yes. As a matter of fact, the desert is home to many people. I know a family living in the desert. Water is so important and valuable for them.
The family don’t have enough water. They seldom plant flowers or grass. They can only take a quick shower once a week. During the shower, they must collect the water. After the shower, they reuse the water. It doesn’t rain much in the desert. Most people get water from the underground, so they have to spend a lot of money digging wells.
I feel lucky. I don’t need to worry about water, but now I start to save water. Join me and let's make a difference together.
