被遗忘的疾病—血吸虫病(1)

Thank you for joining us for today's Spotlight. I'm Joshua Leo.

And I'm Ryan Geertsma. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting.

It is easier for people to understand no matter where in the world they live.

Water is one the most important things people need to live.

We use it to cook, to wash, and to drink.

But water can also be the cause of many problems.

Floods can damage cities. Heavy rains can cause terrible land slides.

Tsunamis can destroy towns on the coast.

But the most dangerous water is dirty water.

Dirty water can carry very harmful diseases.
