[HS] – Water in the Philippines

PASSAGE READING

Please read aloud the following passage. I will check your pronunciation as you read.

READ

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.
