Dialogue: (情境對話)
Hope : Hey, Joey. Recently, I am quite concerned about the shortage of water even though it has rained a bit last month.
Joey : I know. This is one of my worries, too.
Hope : I just had my toilet leak fixed. The plumber said that even small leaks can waste a significant amount of water over time.
Joey : I agree. I try to take shorter showers. I think this way I can conserve more water.
Hope : Good for you. I do that, too. Besides, when I brush my teeth, I use a cup, so I don’t let water run away.
Joey : And I use a basin to wash my face. Do you collect and reuse water?
Hope : Yes, I place a bucket in the shower while waiting for the water to warm up. I use the collected water to water plants and flush the toilet.
Joey : My mom uses the collected water to mop the floor. She also collects water from washing fruits and vegetables to water plants.
Hope : That is a good idea. It is also suggest that we collect rainwater if possible. We can make good use of the water.
Joey : Yes, there are many ways to help conserve water.
Hope : All we need to do is to do our best to help with the problem.
