The Importance of Saving Water

The Importance of Saving Water​
Water is essential for life, but many people waste it without realizing how precious it is. Last month, our school held a “Save Water Week” to teach students about this issue. We watched a video that showed dry lands in Africa, where people walk for hours to get a bucket of dirty water. It made me feel sad and guilty—at home, I sometimes left the tap running while brushing my teeth. After that, I started changing my habits. I turn off the tap when I’m not using it, and I use the water from washing fruits to water my plants. My family joined me too: we fixed a leaky faucet in the bathroom, and my mom only washes clothes when she has a full load. Saving water doesn’t have to be hard; small changes can make a big difference. If everyone wastes water, soon we’ll have no clean water left. We must protect this valuable resource for ourselves and future generations. Water is life—let’s save it together.

My View on Homework

Homework is an important part of learning, but balance is needed. It reinforces what we learn in class. When I do math homework, I practice problems until I understand them. Homework also teaches responsibility—finishing it on time builds discipline. However, too much homework causes stress. Last semester, I had hours of homework every night and felt tired. Teachers should assign meaningful tasks, not busy work. Students should manage time wisely. With the right amount, homework helps us learn better without overwhelming us.

The Charming Venice Canals

Venice, Italy, is a city like no other, with its intricate network of canals. Gliding through the waterways on a gondola, I was enchanted by the beauty that surrounded me. The ancient buildings, some leaning slightly, seemed to tell stories of the city’s rich past. Their facades, painted in warm earth tones, reflected in the calm waters of the canals.​ The sound of the gondolier’s song echoed softly, adding a romantic touch to the scene. Passing under low - lying bridges, I could see people strolling along the narrow streets above, and the smell of freshly baked pastries wafted from nearby cafes. The canals of Venice are not just waterways; they are the lifeblood of the city, connecting its historic sites and creating a unique and magical atmosphere that is truly unforgettable.

The Beauty of Traditional Handicrafts

The Beauty of Traditional Handicrafts In the age of mass production, traditional handicrafts hold unique charm. Last year, I visited a village where artisans made pottery by hand. Watching an elderly woman shape a clay pot on a spinning wheel, her hands moving with precision, was mesmerizing. Each piece had slight imperfections, making it one-of-a-kind—unlike identical factory products. Handicrafts preserve culture: the patterns on her pots told stories of her ancestors. Sadly, fewer young people learn these skills, preferring modern jobs. To support them, I bought a small bowl that now sits on my desk. It reminds me that creativity and patience have value beyond speed. Traditional crafts are living art—let’s keep them alive.
