Gabi just finished her third year of high school. However, at the beginning of June, she received her report card in the mail, she learned that she failed a term of algebra（代数）. This meant she had to go to summer school this vacation.
Gabi was glad she had the chance to make up the class. She can’t move on to the next level in math if she doesn’t pass algebra. Summer school isn’t easy though. Gabi has to learn the material in 6 weeks instead of the 20 she had during the regular school year.
Summer school also meant that Gabi would stay in a hot classroom while most of her friends were at the beach or parks. Her friends passed algebra, so they had most of June, July, and August free from school work. Going to summer school also meant that Gabi’s family had to change their summer vacation plans.
Gabi had to be in summer school from 9 a.m. to noon. She couldn’t stay up late at night. She had to catch the early bus in the morning to school. The classrooms were hot since the school building was old and did not have air conditioning. After Gabi took the bus home from school, she couldn’t do what she wanted. She had to do her homework.

Water is a limited natural resource that must be protected; it is limited in many places. Even if you live in an area with enough rainfall, using water uses energy to process(加工) it. Here are some
14 / 16
tips on saving water at home. ★ Install a water meter(安装水表).
You might be very surprised to find out how much water you are actually using. By installing a water meter you can raise your attention so that you will reduce your water use.
Many water meters have a small wheel that turns quite rapidly if any water at all is running. If you are sure all your water is turned off and you see this wheel moving at all, you have a leak(漏水). ★ Take shorter showers.
Take showers rather than baths. By taking a bath you are using up to 100 liters of water! Showering will generally use less than a third of this amount. ★
Use it to water plants or pour into your toilet reservoir.
★ Turn the tap off while you are brushing your teeth, shaving, washing your
hands, doing dishes, and so on.
Turn the tap off when you shower, too. Get wet, then turn off the water while you
soap up. Turn it back on for long enough to wash. Look for a twist vale that is installed behind your shower head to keep the water temperature where you set it while the water is off. ★ Wash full loads.
Wait until you have a full load of clothes before you wash a load. Don’t wash a pair of pants just because you want to wear the same pair of pants the next day! When washing your clothes, be sure to use the economy mode and this will save you both water and electricity!
