One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made
many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of
poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and
plants, including 1300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they’re being destroyed
by massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the
government didn’t have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The
Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it’s the dumping ground for 50% of all
marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago, people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was
limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined be pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce,

In the United States and Canada, it is very important to look a person directly in the eyes when you
are having a conversation with him or her. If you look down or to the side when the other person is talking, that
person will think that you are not interested in what he or she is saying. This, of course, is not polite. If you
look down or to the side when you are talking, you may appear to be hiding something; that is, it might seem
that you are not honest. However, people who are speaking will sometimes look away for a few seconds when
they are thinking or trying to find the right word. But they always turn immediately back to look the listener
directly in the eyes. These social “rules” are the same for two men, two women, a man and a woman, or an
adult and a child.

there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants'
backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the heat of the
day.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and found a
dead deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos plus
and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It grabbed
Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and
made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible
to sleep!
