The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One
of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.
Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used
water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh
from a spring.
But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the
oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization,
and it is already in use in many parts of the world.

Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it
hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for
the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take
their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their
work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure
concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole
place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.
We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do
that.

Where to live —in the City or in the Country
Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages. They think there are more job opportunities in
cities, life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country, and there are more modern conveniences in cities for
people to enjoy.
But some other people prefer to live in the countryside. They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for
their health, life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.
I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for
