His first visit to the seaside is a marvellous adventure.But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are: he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.《如何应付面试》How to Behave in an InterviewIn order to make a good Impression during a job interview, you need to prepare yourself for it.

Thismay seem strange to you since nearly 75 percent of the earth'ssurface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this hugeamount is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use theother percent-the fresh water that comes from rivers,lakes,underground and other sources. But unfortunately, some of ithas been polluted and is unfit for drinking.However, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. Butour need for water is increasing rapidly-almost day by day.Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can weavoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on So we all have tolearn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first stepswe should take is to develop ways of reusing water. Today in mostlarge cities water is used only once and then discharged. But it ispossible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying plant, andthen it can be used again Another way out is to turn to the oceans.That is certainly a possible solution All we'd have to do is toremove the salt.This process is already in use inmany parts of the world.描写文描绘某人、某地、某物或某个睛景。
