especially the fresh portable water most necessary to human survival.
 I understand that over-consumption of water leads to the over-consumption of another non-renewable
resource, energy.
 The underground water is stored in and moves flowly through geologic formations of soil, sand and rocks.

Yudi : You look serious. What are you watching, Rani?


Ran : The news that several parts in our country suffer from serious drought due to a long dry season for this
i year. You know, water is necessary for the sustenance of human life, isn’t it?
Yudi It is true. (1)…
Ran : Does it mean that without conservation efforts, the supply of water may be exhausted?
i
Yudi : Correct! That’s why, saving water is very important due to several reasons.
Ran : What are they?
i
Yudi : (2)… You know, the more people living in cities, the higher water demand needed to supply the
cities. It certainly leads to the declines in groundwater levels and the related groundwater storage
which affect the existence of farmland.
Ran : I see. We have to save water so that it is enough to supply all the people’s need. What is another
i reason?
Yudi : (3)… Conservation protects the balance of life on Earth, which would be upset by a reduction in the
Water supply. (4)…
Ran : You're right. I remember now. I ever read the news that according to the United States Bureau of
i Reclamation, during the past 100 years, some 21 species of fish have become extinct in the 17
Western states in part due to the alteration of habitat.
Yudi : That’s the example of the loss due to the lack of water supply.
Ran : In rural areas, people still depend on groundwater, but for those 1 cities, their water supply is
i provided and distributed by a local water company or PDAM. What do you think of It?
Yudi : (5)… Every time you use water, the water company charges you a fee. The greater the demand for
water, the greater the price you will be charged. (6)…
Ran : That’s right. I also understand one thing.
i
Yudi : What is it?
Ran : (7)… You know, water in your home must be heated for a number of uses, such as cleaning and
i bathing, and this take energy.
Yudi : Besides, the water company must use energy to process and deliver water to your home, so the
over-consumption of water requires more energy out of the water company as well.
Ran : That makes sense. Well, now I know why it is very important to save water. (8)…
i
Yudi : Absolutely right.

Lastly, investing helps you plan for your future and that includes setting priorities. It forces you to set goals, like
buying a house or car. You will not face the dilemma of worrying if you can spend your time planning your life
after retirement.

Second, starting investing early will require less money every month to save for retirement if you begin in your
twenties, rather than trying to make up your lack of savings in your 40s or 50s by. That last-minute frantic
investing will mean less money to live on and could result in some bad choices because they are made in
desperation.
Investing at a young age will also help you have a better quality of life. While others are panicking, wondering if
they will have enough to retire, you will be able to live as you want. It certainly will reduce your stress in facing
your retirement time.

For many young adults, it seems easier to put off any investing decisions until their financial situation becomes, at
least theoretically, more stable. Twenty-somethings, however, are actually in a prime position to enter the
investing world. This will leave you a happier and wealthier life when your retirement hits. Here are practical
financial reasons for beginning retirement saving while you are young.

Next, regular investing takes discipline because you must budget it. Making investment payments regularly will
build discipline. It will also keep you from overspending since you tend to sick to budgets. That will likely also
show up in other areas of your life.

First of all, when you start investing early, you are allowing for these investment to grow to their fullest potential.
Most of the safest investment, from stocks to gold and real estate, are meant to be long-term. These assets need
20 to 30 years of growth to get the most out of their investment.
