The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.

48 Keep your attention focused on what your teacher is saying. Listen for "signal statements" that tell you what your teacher is about to say is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal statements are "The most important point..." and "Remember
that..." Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the chalkboard. 49 Do this by writing abbreviated words such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
Rewrite your notes after class. Rewrite your notes to make them more complete by changing abbreviated words into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences.
