About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. Water in nature is saltwater and fresh water, but only three percent of that amount (数量) is freshwater. A lot of organizations are saying that people are running out of usable water, but few are taking this problem seriously.
Why should they? They see water everywhere. The average American family uses more than 1,140 liters (升) of water at home per day. However, in developing countries, nearly 900 million people do not have safe drinking water. Water shortages are, in fact, a bigger problem today than ever before. The human population has continued to grow and with it, its need for water. Global warming is making this problem more serious. Unless we all take it seriously, we will end up having to live on a blue planet without a drop of usable water.
From taking shorter showers to reusing water, there are many ways for you to save water. One more thing you can do is to reduce your use of “virtual water”. Perhaps you have never heard of the idea of “virtual water.” It means the water you use indirectly. We not just drink water and use it to clean all kinds of things; we also “use” it through the products we buy. To produce a piece of A4 paper, for example, we need about ten liters of water. The production of our food requires even more water. A cow needs to eat 1,300 kilograms of grain (谷物) for three years before it can produce 180 kilograms of beef. The grain requires water to grow, the cow needs to drink, and the farmer needs water to clean his farm. So behind each 230-gram steak dinner, there are nearly 3,600 liters of water!
It will make a big difference if you remove some meat from your diet and eat more fruit and vegetables instead. You are also saving water when you are writing on both sides of paper instead of just one. The world is running out of usable water. Every drop of it is valuable.

Have you ever been in a conflict (冲突)? Do you know how to solve it? Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to deal with a conflict. Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it. The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator (调解人).
After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict, they discuss ways to solve it. They try to come up with a “resolution” that both sides agree to. They cannot be angry during the communication. Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking. If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry, the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect. After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict, it is time for discussing the best solution.
Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:
♦Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.♦The person who was accused as the “pusher” says it was actually an accident.
♦The person who was pushed gets the mediator.
♦The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place, away from others to talk.
♦The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings.
♦Each person describes what happened.
♦The mediator repeats what he heard, so it is clear to everyone.
♦The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem.
♦The two persons offer their own solutions.
♦The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement.
♦The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution.
♦The mediator offers praise for solving the problem.
Conflict resolution can be used in many environments. It encourages people to tell what really happened, to share their feelings, and to work together peacefully to solve the problem.

【推荐3】Do you know how to get on well with people? Do you ever feel shy? What situation makes you feel shy? Do you sometimes feel that you don’t know how to interest people and have conversations with them? Do people find an excuse to leave you as soon as they can?
Try listening! Here is an example of mine.
One evening last week, I was sitting with Hannah, and she said to me, “You are a great mom!” And I said, “Why do you say that suddenly?” She said, “Well, although you are always busy, you always stop to listen to me.”
Here is some advice about listening:
※Show the other person that you are listening.
※Look at them.
※Smile and nod quite often.
※Shake your head or raise your eyebrows if you don’t follow what they are saying.
※Don’t tap your foot because this will show impatience.
※Don’t look at your watch unless you really have to know the time. If you show the impatience, then the other person won’t make friends with you any more.
A good listener has magic! A good listener can make people feel good, and is as important as a good talker at a party. But just listening is not enough. One should listen smartly by trying to find out what the other person would really like to communicate.
