Mrs Mi is talking with her neighbor, Mrs Ha. She looks very
worried but Mrs Mi doesn' t know what is wrong with her neighbor.
Mrs Ha is worried about her water bill because it is enormous. She
must pay 200.000 dongs for it. Therefore, Mrs Mi gives Mrs Ha
advice on how to save water, She advises Mrs Ha to get her husband
or a plumber to check her water pipes and to reduce the amount of
water. Bath use twice as much water as showers, so Mrs Mi suggests
taking showers. She advises Mrs Ha to remember to turn off the
faucets. A dripping faucet can waste 500 liters of water a month.
However, Mrs Ha never thinks about that before.
