water scarcity explanation

Intro

Water scarcity is when a country runs out of fresh water to drink and wash with.  

Paragraph 2- water scarcity causes

Water scarcity is caused because of wastage, overuse, pollution, global warming, climate change, deforestation, people building over natural water sources and overpopulation.  Other ways of water scarcity are people building over natural water sources.

Paragraph 3- why water scarcity occurs

Water covers 70% of the Earth’s surface but most of this water is salt water found in oceans and seas.  Only 3% of our planet’s water is freshwater but 2% of this is inaccessible, being frozen in glaciers, icebergs or deep down underground.  Only 1% is available for human and animal consumption.  This precious H20 needs to go around every living creature on earth. 

Paragraph 4- overuse 

Water scarcity can be caused by overuse of water.  

People overuse water by tipping the water out when they don't need to, drinking too much water when they don't have to and filling their bottles up too high when they're already full.  

Conclusion

So now I hope you know what water scarcity is and to know to not overuse water and don't cause water scarcity to occur in some poor countries.  Conserving water is important and everyone needs to do their part so that there is enough to go around.

Water Scarcity

jack and the beanstalk narrative

Hi, I'm the giant in the Jack in the Beanstalk and everyone thinks that I'm a terrible giant which I am not.  The way everyone says it isn't the way that I see it, so today, right now, I will tell you the actual story of Jack and the Beanstalk. 

Once upon a time in 1798, a boy named Jack went to the market.   Jack was a robber, he would rob any valuable thing he saw and today he saw a shady man with a glowing magical bean.  He went over to the man and pickpocketed him and ran away. When he got home, his mum was furious so she threw the beans out the window and Jack was sent to his room.   When Jack woke up, he saw a beanstalk and scurried up. At the top, he went inside an enormous castle positioned on the clouds. Then he saw me, a nice friendly giant eating his dinner.  After dinner, I got up and gathered my money so I could start counting it. After a while, I was feeling thirsty so I went over to get a drink. That’s when Jack stole all my money and zipped quickly down the beanstalk.  When I came back I was shocked to see that my money had disappeared. “Who would have been so selfish and dishonest and stolen my money?” I thought. Eventually, it got so late that I had to take myself off to bed. “I will deal with this issue in the morning.” I decided.

When I woke up, I had some weet-bix for breakfast.  Then I went over to get my golden harp. That’s when I was shocked to see someone in my safe. The person jumped out of the safe and sprinted away down the beanstalk. I followed this intruder determined to catch him and recover my belongings.  When I got down onto the land I accidentally stood on a farm. I went to grab the person and get my golden harp back. I demanded to know his name and he shouted it out to me “My name is Jack and I'm never going to give this golden harp back”. However, Jack didn’t realize my strength.  I grabbed the harp from him, climbed back up the beanstalk and chopped it down so that Jack couldn't take my stuff again.

So hopefully now you will think that I am not the bad guy in the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.  I'm the good guy and Jack is the bad one.
