Curling
Curling is a sport played on ice. It began in Scotland in the 1500s and became an official sport in the Winter Olympics in 1998. Players slide large, round, flat stones across the ice. They use a broom to sweep the path of the stone on ice. Each team has four players and each player has two stones to slide. This sport is also known as “chess on ice” because players must have good mental skills to defeat their opponents just like in chess. The two sports have similar rules and players must have various strategies to win.

Now, I will talk about the food waste in the Philippines. Please ask me questions about it later.
Food Waste in the Philippines
Food waste has become a national problem in the Philippines over the past years. According to research, there are about 1.3 billion tons of food lost every year. Because of this, the government encourages people to become more responsible in handling their food supply. They advise them to have a weekly meal plan that will help them purchase only the sufficient amount of food that their family needs. This will not only lessen the amount of food loss but will also decrease food cost.
However, food loss does not only happen in households. In fact, it occurs in food production as well. This is the result of a lack of modern agricultural resources such as irrigation systems and transporting of products. This has negative effects on both agricultural livelihood and national food security.

Drinking Water
Drinking water is one of the basic human needs. In the Philippines, there are quality standards set by the National Standard for Drinking Water that water companies must follow. This is to ensure that drinking water is free from any unpleasant taste, odor, and color. Still, it does not guarantee that tap water is 100% safe to drink. According to a research, water can be contaminated especially during rainy season. Tap water can be contaminated through the leaks in water pipes. As a result, drinking tap water may cause sickness like diarrhea. Because of this, most families prefer to buy purified drinking water, while some have their own purifier at home. This is to make sure that they have safe drinking water supply and avoid putting their health at risk.
