schools quickly joined the activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi" an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles
of water with their pocket money. They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.

     Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take
part in water-saving activities.
     "I"ve heard that some children in drought-hit areas don"t have enough drinking water. They have to drink
muddy (含有泥土的) water. I feel really sad about that," said one student. "I decide to take a shower twice
a week instead of every day to save water." he said. 1. Why did a serious drought happen in Southwest China?
