I'm very happy and proud to be your teacher for this class, and for you to be my students this semester! I hope this blog post will help you in your studies and research here about water for this class.

When you think about water, what do you think about? Here's some homework for you to do about this topic.
HOMEWORK
Interview one person about how his or her water use. Here are your questions:
1. When you drink water, do you a) drink it directly from a tap (like from the kitchen) or b) buy bottled water?
* If you answer a), do you have a water filter on your kitchen faucet?
2. How much water do you drink each week? (If you're not sure, guess as best you can!)
* If you drink water from your kitchen, answer about how many glasses you drink a week. If you drink bottled water, answer about how many bottles you drink each week.
** If you drink bottled water, which brand of bottled water do you like the best?
3. How often do you take showers?
* When you take showers, do you leave the water on all the time? Or do you turn the water off sometimes?
4. How often do you take baths?
* When you take a bath, do you save the water for the next time, or empty the bathtub and make fresh water for the next bath?
** Do you (or a family member) ever use the bath water to do your laundry?
5. When you (or a family member) wash dishes after dinner, do you (or the family member) a) leave the water running while rinsing the soap off the dishes or b) turn the water off?
Make your notes in your notebooks, and bring them to class next week. We will talk about them in class!
Good luck with this! See you next week!
