Pure water lacks taste and smell. All living things need water in order to survive.
Forty to
ninety percent of the weight of all organisms is water. The human body uses water to remove
wastes and transport food throughout the body. Ancient philosophers thought of water as a true
building block by which all other liquids are measured. Until the late eighteenth century a British
chemist by the name of Cavendish made water by using a mixture of two main elements: hydrogen
and oxygen. Now, we know that water consists of two parts: hydrogen, the most plenty element in
our universe, and oxygen, the element that we breathe in order to survive.

Dear Malika!
I have just got your letter with the picture of you riding a bike. From the smile on your face, I
can tell how much fun you’re having. I still remember when you could hardly ride a tricycle. Now
here’s some advice. I’m sure you’re a good rider. But you may often fall off the bike. So please
get yourself a helmet. A helmet is a hard cap which is worn to protect your head from a head
injury. Wear a helmet when you ride a bike. Wear it every time you ride. I just don’t want a bad
fall to wipe that smile off your face. When you come to visit me this summer, bring your bike.
I ’m planning to have a ride along the seaside with you. Your friend, Aisha.
