　　Write an essay of 160—200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should first describe the drawing, then interpret its meaning, and give your comment on it.　　You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)　　As is vividly revealed in the drawing above, water is being wisely utilized in the daily life of a family. The good conduct is indeed praiseworthy and should be popularized in our society.　　The implied meaning of the drawing can be stated as follows. To begin with, to practise economy is closely related to our daily life. In terms of our clothing, food, sheltering, and transport, much work can be done to save valuable energy and natural resources such as power, water, coal, gas and so on. We, as university students, should take the wise use of paper and second-hand textbooks into consideration. What’s more, the public participation is the foundation of a society in which to practise economy is advocated and treasured. Since social environment is shaped by the general public, the cultivation of economy-practising society depends on the active involvement of every member of our society, be he old or young. In sum, our daily life should be permeated with the sense of practising economy and public participation should be encouraged.　　In my view, necessary measures should be taken so as to practise economy. On the one hand, we should launch a public campaign to help people build up the sense of practicing economy in our routine life. On the other hand, education on how to practise economy must be promoted by relevant government departments and professionals at different levels. Only in this way can we create a real economy-practising society.
