poem / Embarrassment

Embarrassment is the colour of green when you sneeze on someone.

Embarrassment is when your face crumples up.

Embarrassment feels like slipping over and being bullied

Embarrassment is you turning blue and feeling really hot Embarrassment looks like someone tripping over and doing something really weird and awkward

Embarrassment makes me think of my most embarrassing  moment of my life

Embarrassment smells like rotten eggs

Embarrassment tastes like lime mixed with heaps of salt

If embarrassment is 3 words it would be 

Laughing, mess and confusion

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.
