　　发言稿---- 主题“water of life”的交流活动。（2011福建）

　　Ladies and gentlemen,

　　Good morning , I ‘m Li Hua from Fujian , China .It’s my great honor to be here to say something about the global water shortage and ways of dealing with it .

　　As we know , the global water shortage is becoming increasingly severe mainly due to global warming , environmental pollution and the ever --- increasing population .Therefore , it’s a high time we did something about it .

　　Firstly , an effective way , I think , is to reserve water in a scientific way for future use .Secondly , new methods need to be developed to use the existing water resources ,for example , turning sea water into fresh water .Thirdly , we must stop water pollution by law .Last but not least, it’s everyone’s responsibility to make good use of water ; such as recycling and saving water in our daily life .

　　In conclusion , people around the world should be aware of the real situation of water shortage , protect the present water resources and explore potential ones scientifically.

　　短文改错：

　　Last Sunday my father and I went fishing along a river. We found the water very dirty that we could hardly catch any fish in it. A lot of factories along the river always poured their waste water and rubbish straightly into the river, which made the river polluting. In this way most of the fish in the river was killed. Unless the rivers all over the country are polluted like this, no living things will be exist in the water. As we all know, environmental pollution do great harm to living things. Now more and more people have realized what serious this problem is. Our government is doing her best to take measure to fight against pollution. We expect that water in every river will be made cleaner and cleaner before long.
