You have 20 seconds to ask each question.

Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

There is no life without water. Man can live without clothes, without shelter, and even for some time without food. Without water he soon dies. But not all water helps him to survive: if it is not clean, then he may die before his time. Some people say that man and his story is "a question of water and little else". All his food has water and his body is about 70 % water. The surface of the earth is 70 % water to an average depth of over 4 kilometres. But often man does not have enough water.

Water played an important part in man's progress. He needed something to carry and keep water in, and so the idea of pottery was born. Ancient civilizations rose on the banks of the Nile and other rivers. But then the world's population was not as large as it is now. And industry is thirsty, too. We need 3.5 litres of water to produce a kilogram of dry cement, 100 litres to produce one kilogram of paper, and so on.
