Mrs. Ha

Mrs. Mi is taking with her neighbor, Mrs. Ha


Mrs. Mi: What’s the matter, Mrs. Ha?
Mrs. Ha: I’m worried about my most recent water bill. It’s

enormous.
Mrs. Mi: Let me see. 200,000 dong! You should reduce the
amount of water your family uses
Mrs. Ha: How do I do that?

Mrs. Mi: First of all, get a plumber to make sure there are no
cracks in the pipes.
Mrs. Ha: I’ll do that.
Mrs. Mi: Baths use twice as much water as showers, so I
suggest taking showers. And remember to turn off
the faucets. A dripping faucet can waste 500 liters
of water a month.
Mrs. Ha: I see. Thank you
