Water is very essential for everything in the world
We, human beings, cannot live without water. We have to eat food which needs water to process to be the final product for us. On average, to keep living we drink two liters of water every day. For washing, water is the main material to clean our clothes and things.
Like human beings, all animals need water to drink and they use water for finding things necessary to guarantee their existing environment, even though they live on the ground like monkeys, under the ground like worms or in the water like fishes.









All plants, more or less, are in need of water to grow and develop, even cacti in the deserts where there is only sand.
All in all, imagine that one day there is no water in our world, then the living things will become extinct. That is, our world will be destroyed!

The value of books
Nowadays books exist everywhere and we cannot live without them, even though they may be in this traditional form or that modern form.
First, in the primitive society, the pictures on the walls of the caves or on the platform of a huge rock are considered the copying for the following generations. That is, we call them kinds of “books”.









Next, in the developed societies, people began to inscribe their information or messages on the pieces of bamboos when they found it easier to store or send them away.
Then, paper came into being and people used ink to write characters or letters on it. Paper and the tools to write have always been improved and nowadays, we have different kinds of literature and pens.










It is possible to say that any recording we have now is a kind of book, called “saying book”. These recordings may be in form of disc, CD, DVD, HD, etc. and even visual disc on the internet.
