DVD script:
A:  Water  is  important  for  industry  and  agricultural  needs.  Most  of  fresh 
water goes to water plants. People use water for 2,788,000 km² on the earth. We 
water  plants  to  have  crops,  vegetables,  fruits  and  other  agricultural  products. 
Farmers use water for taking care about cows, horses, sheep, poultry and other 
domestic animals.
B: Water is the most important thing for people, plants and animals to live. 
People often live near rivers. Main rivers across the earth played an important 
role in human’s life. We use water for drinking, for washing clothes, for cooking 
or any other activity at home. If you have pets at home, we must take care of 
them. We should feed them and give some water every day. 
C: People used water to travel from one place to the other. They used ships to 
carry things. Water transportation was the largest kind of transportation for many 
years. Today, however, people don’t often use sea travels. They prefer to travel 
by plane for a long distance. But short water trips are still popular. It’s cheaper 
than to travel by air. 
D: How do you feel when your eyes, nose, or mouth get dry? In fact, we 
should drink enough water when we’re thirsty. It helps us to have good health. 
Human body has 75% of water. To stay energetic and active we need to drink a 
lot of water or other drinks.
