Water pays an important part in our lives and in our environment. It covers three-
quarters of our Earth’s surface. It is fun to play in, but it also needed for life. In fact , we cannot live
without water to drink. People need to wash, cook and grow food. Every living thing needs water.
Without it, plants and trees would not grow, aquatic life would have nowhere to live, and animals
who find their food in water would have nothing to eat. Up in Earth’s atmosphere water vapor cools
and collects into clouds. When enough clusters of cloud particles stick together, they tumble back
down to Earth as rain. So, without water the water cycle would not work, and we would not have
precipitation on Earth.

To get the main idea, you need first to identify what is the topic. The
remaining texts that tell about the main idea are your supporting details.

Step 5: Application
Read closely the passage below. Complete the web below.
Water pays an important part in our lives and in our environment. It covers three-
quarters of our Earth’s surface. It is fun to play in, but it also needed for life. In fact , we cannot live
without water to drink. People need to wash, cook and grow food. Every living thing needs water.
Without it, plants and trees would not grow, aquatic life would have nowhere to live, and animals
who find their food in water would have nothing to eat. Up in Earth’s atmosphere water vapor cools
and collects into clouds. When enough clusters of cloud particles stick together, they tumble back
down to Earth as rain. So, without water the water cycle would not work, and we would not have
precipitation on Earth.
