This is the year 2070.
Today is my (fifty) birthday, but I
look like a person of eighty-five. I have serious kidney (肾脏) problems because I don't
have enough water (drink). I'm afraid I don't
have much time left to live. I'm already one of the oldest people in this
society.
I remember when I (be) five years old,
everything was very different. There were lots of trees in the parks. I could
enjoy a shower for half hour. At that time, /'wɪmɪn/ all had beautiful hair.
Now, we have to shave (剃光) our heads to keep them
clean without the use of water.
I remember there were "Saving
Water" warnings in many public places, but nobody (pay) attention. We believed
water would last forever. Now, all the rivers and lakes are either dry or
polluted. Water is much (expensive) than gold and
diamonds.
In the past, doctors
suggested adults drink eight glasses of water a day. Nowadays, I am allowed
half a glass only. Most people are weak and sick.
When my son asks me about
my childhood, I tell him about how pleasant it was to fish in the rivers how healthy people were. When he asks, "Why
is there no clean water now?" I feel guilty (有罪的). I belong those
people who simply turned a blind eye to all the warnings.
I hope the people living in
the 2020s (true) understand the
importance of saving water.
