Exercises:

1. Watch the video attentively; watch it as many times as you need and do it at your rythm: pause and replay whenever you need!
2. Write down the relevant aspects that appear throughout.
3. Read the tapescript to see if you have understood it correctly or if some important points have been missed. Check the unknown words in the dictionary (there is a link to the Cambridge Dicitionaries on the sidebar).
4. Write an essay with your impressions of the video and your ideas on how to reduce the water consumption at individual levels.
