Hi,
This is the year.2070. I am 50 years ld, but I lk like a persn f 85. I have serius kidney (肾脏) prblems because I dn't have enugh water t drink. I'm afraid I dn't have much time left t live. I am already ne f the ldest peple in this sciety.
I remember when I was five years ld, everything was very different. There were lts f trees in the parks. I culd enjy a shwer fr half an hur. At that time, wmen had beautiful hair. Nw, we have t shave (剃去…的毛发) ur heads t keep them clean withut the use f water.
I remember there were "Save Water" warnings (警古) in many public places, but nbdy cared. We believed water wuld never be used up. Nw, all the rivers and lakes are dry r dirty. Water is much mre expensive than gld (金子).
Withut water, almst all factries are clsed. Mst peple lse their jbs. Thse wh have a jb wrk in desalinatin (海水脱盐) plants and are paid with drinkable water instead f mney.
In the past, dctrs advised peple t drink eight glasses f water a day. Nw, I can nly have half a glass. Mst peple are weak. Yung peple in their early 20s lk much lder than they shuld be.
Because there are few trees, we dn't have enugh xygen (氧气). We have t pay fr air. The air is nt f very gd quality, but at least we can breathe. Pr peple die yung. The average life expectancy (预期寿命) is 40 years.
When my sn asks me abut my life when I was a little girl, I tell him abut hw happy it was t fish in the rivers and hw healthy peple were. When he asks, "Why is there n clean water nw?", I feel really srry. I am ne f the generatin (一代人) wh turned a blind (瞎的) eye t all the "Save Water" warnings.
I wish this letter culd travel back in time and it wuld make peple living in the 2020s truly understand the imprtance f saving water.

Hi,
This is the year.2070. I am 50 years ld, but I lk like a persn f 85. I have serius kidney (肾脏) prblems because I dn't have enugh water t drink. I'm afraid I dn't have much time left t live. I am already ne f the ldest peple in this sciety.
I remember when I was five years ld, everything was very different. There were lts f trees in the parks. I culd enjy a shwer fr half an hur. At that time, wmen had beautiful hair. Nw, we have t shave (剃去…的毛发) ur heads t keep them clean withut the use f water.
I remember there were "Save Water" warnings (警古) in many public places, but nbdy cared. We believed water wuld never be used up. Nw, all the rivers and lakes are dry r dirty. Water is much mre expensive than gld (金子).
Withut water, almst all factries are clsed. Mst peple lse their jbs. Thse wh have a jb wrk in desalinatin (海水脱盐) plants and are paid with drinkable water instead f mney.
In the past, dctrs advised peple t drink eight glasses f water a day. Nw, I can nly have half a glass. Mst peple are weak. Yung peple in their early 20s lk much lder than they shuld be.
Because there are few trees, we dn't have enugh xygen (氧气). We have t pay fr air. The air is nt f very gd quality, but at least we can breathe. Pr peple die yung. The average life expectancy (预期寿命) is 40 years.
When my sn asks me abut my life when I was a little girl, I tell him abut hw happy it was t fish in the rivers and hw healthy peple were. When he asks, "Why is there n clean water nw?", I feel really srry. I am ne f the generatin (一代人) wh turned a blind (瞎的) eye t all the "Save Water" warnings.
I wish this letter culd travel back in time and it wuld make peple living in the 2020s truly understand the imprtance f saving water.
