This document contains an activity completed by two students, Gladys Hilda Ginez Orihuela and Brígida Santa Huanca Cáceres. The activity involves designing different types of texts about water, including: 1. An instructive text about tips for conserving water. 2. A descriptive text describing the chemical properties and characteristics of water. 3. An expositive text about natural and human-caused changes to water quality. 4. A narrative text telling a mythological story about the origins of water.

1. INSTRUCTIVE TEXT
Practical Tips to conserve Water
Water is one of the important environmental problems. Climate is becoming hotter and rate of evaporation
has increased tremendously.
Here are some tips that help you to save water:
Recycle water, you use for washing vegetables and fruits, to water gardens and plants.
Wash your car with a bucket of water and sponge than using a hose
Water your plants and garden in the evening to avoid evaporating of water and use
watering can instead of using a hose.
Check both indoor and outdoor installations for leakage.
Upgrade your toilet with new water efficient models.
Select one bottle or glass to drink water for a day. It helps to reduce washing glasses.
Turn off water while you are brushing your teeth, shaving.

3. ACTIVITY: Match the picture to the correct tip using lines.
Turn off water while you are brushing your
teeth, shaving.
Select one bottle or glass to drink water for a
day. It helps to reduce washing glasses.
Water your plants and garden in the evening
to avoid evaporating of water and use
watering can instead of using a hose.

Upgrade your toilet with new water efficient
models.

4. 2. DESCRIPTIVE TEXT
Water is a chemical substance with a chemical formula H2O. Water is a tasteless, odorless
and transparent liquid at standard temperature and pressure.
Water is a good solvent and is often referred to as the universal solvent. Substances like
salts, sugars, acids, alkalis, and some gases can dissolve in water.
Pure water has a low conductivity. The boiling point of water (and all other liquids) is dependent on
the barometric pressure. For example, on the top of Mt. Everest water boils at 68 °C (154 °F),
compared to 100 °C (212 °F) at sea level. Conversely, water deep in the ocean near geothermal vents
can reach temperatures of hundreds of degrees and remain liquid.
ACTIVITY:
A. Read and answer the following questions.
1. What is water?
________________________________________________________________.
2. What are the characteristics of water?
________________________________________________________________.
3. What substances can be dissolved in water?

3. EXPOSITIVE TEXT
CHANGES IN WATER QUALITY
Water quality changes can be the result of naturally occurring events or as a result of human activity.
When water vapor in the air condenses to form rain, it may pick up tiny air-borne impurities that become
part of the rain drop. As rainwater seeps through rocks or soil, it may dissolve minerals or other water
soluble substances that give the water some of its chemical characteristics. Flowing water picks up many
objects and carries sediments. Water quality also changes with the seasons as temperature, volume of
flow, turbidity and biological activity respond to the seasonal differences.
Apart from the natural changes, Humans are responsible for a great many changes to the quality of
water. These changes can be a result of industrial, agricultural, municipal or recreational activities.
ACTIVITY:
A. Write true (T) or False (F).

4. NARRATIVE TEXT
Many Years ago, God Mars was fallen in love with Goddess Nature. But Mars liked wars too
much and he went out for long times and Goddess Nature was alone all that time. So she tired
of wars and loneliness, accepted the love of other God that took care on her better. The God
Summer that gave her a lot of flowers, butterflies and fruit.

7. When Mars came back he was alone. He cried, cried and cried and his tears formed a lake of
dirty and salty water from wars. God Sun heated, evaporated, cleaned the water and made it
go up to the sky in shape of clouds. God Wind taught them run and fight among themselves.
One day, Clouds got angry so thunders and rays were created. They, tired of fighting, cried
this way the rain was formed. The earth was full of crystalline water to satisfy our thirst, water
plants and let life but it could be cause of wars if we don’t take care it.
ACTIVITY:
B. Read and write a title for the text.
