Our demand for water is constantly increasing Every year there are more and more people in the worlD
Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water We live in a world of water But
almost all of it - about 97%-is in the oceans This water is too salty to be used for drinking, farming, and manufacturing Only about 3% of the world's water is fresh Most of this water is not easily available to man because it is locked in glaciers and icecaps
There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be Most of the water we use finds its way to the oceans There, it is evaporated by the sun It then falls back to the earth as rain Water is used and reused over again It is never used up Although the world as a whole has plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage Rain does not fall evenly over the earth Some regions are always too dry, and others too wet A region that usually gets enough rain may suddenly have a serious dry spell and another region may be flooded with too much rain

II Topic: Classes are really good for ones who attend? Discuss your opinion about this matter.
Nowadays, it becomes a heatedly debated topic whether a student should be required to attend classes
or not Some people hold the opinion that the university students should be required to go to classes However, others have a negative attitude If I were forced to agree with one of the two positions, I would stand behind the latter My Arguments for this point are listed as follows I agree with the statement that going to classes should
be optional for university students without reservation since I believe a student is supposed to attend those classes he or she is interested in.
Naturally, interest is the mother of study When attracted by a wonderful class, you will attend it unforcedly and immediately Nevertheless, not all classes are so popular in reality and no one has interest in every class Consequently, you should select the classes you like to attend for a higher efficiency of studying It can be given a good example, in current universities, many excellent students almost have the record of skipping some boring and undesirable classes.
Another reason that can be seen by everyone is that it contributes to build a university student's ability
of learning by himself or herself Obviously, by choosing good and meaningful classes, giving up those undesirable, or studying these classes you cannot attend somehow by yourself, you will learn how to distribute your study time and acquire the capability of learning by yourself, which is tremendously important to modern university students Many celebrities, such as Bill Gates, have such powerful ability by not attending some classes when they were in university.
Admittedly, being required to attend classes has advantages of disciplining the student, however, considering most university students can discipline themselves on their own, I believe it is sagacious to agree with that going to classes should be optional for college or university students.
