Water Shortage

Getting water seems (seem) so easy for many people. You will be 1(mistake) if you think there is an 2(end) supply of water. In fact, the world has a water shortage. Seventy percent of the world is 3(cover) in water. But most of it is salt water. Only a small 4(percent) is fresh drinking water. Countries 5 (include) Spain, Italy and South Africa actually import water from countries such as the United States and Australia.6(surprising),1.1 billion people on earth have difficulty 7 (get) clean drinking water. This global problem is predicted to get 8(bad) as the atmosphere becomes warmer.

Every person in Britain 9(use) about 150 litres of water a day. In some countries people only have 5 to 10 litres a day! They would be 10(shock) to learn how we waste drinking water.
