Air is all around us. At the time we are born, air is around us everywhere. We live in air. All living things need air. Living things cannot live without air. We can go without food or water for a few days, but we can’t live a few minutes without air. We take in air. When we are working, we need more air. When we are sleeping, we need less air.

Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
