I get used to pouring away the water directly¹ after I using it. Someday, my mother asked me to help her wash the clothes, as I was about to pour away the water, my mother stopped me and she told me that most water can be recycled. It can be used to water the flower or to wash other things. From then on, I realize how to save water.

我过去常常在用完水后直接倒掉水。有一天，妈妈叫我帮助她洗衣服，就在我要去倒掉水的时候，妈妈阻止了我，她告诉我说大部分水可以循环利用。那么水可以用来浇花或者洗别的东西。从那时候起，我就意识到如何节约用水。
