She is going to get some water with the water tank/ water kettle.
She is in a desert. (a very dry place with almost no plants/ rain/ water, but a lot of sands)
3. Is it easy or difficult for her to get enough water Why or why not
Predict
It’s difficult.
Because there is little water in desert. Perhaps she has to walk a long way to get very little water for drinking every day.
Reading: Morning in the desert
The sky is grey when I wake up. Rubbing my eyes, I get up and tie a piece of soap into the corner of my clothes. I pick up two water pots, putting one on my head and the other under my arm. Then I set off for the toba, the water hole.
set off = start/ begin/ depart
Reading: Morning in the desert
At the toba I look out over our water. We will have about a month before it dries up, but the rainy season will not begin for another two months. As I step into the water, the mud covers my feet. I push the scum on the water to the side. To keep the mud out, I place a piece of cloth over the mouth of the water pot. When the pot is full, I take it to the nearby bathing rock.
俯瞰
Reading: Morning in the desert
The sun shines brightly. I throw my hair forward and pour water over it. I can feel the heat as the water wets my head and my neck. Keeping my eyes shut, I carefully rub the soap into my hair and skin until every drop of water is fully used. Water is precious, so I can't waste any. Mum used to bathe my sister and me with just one cup of water when we were small.
Reading: Morning in the desert
Over the next week we watch our pool get smaller. As the water quietly disappears with the hot desert wind, we also prepare to leave the toba and move on.

Abstract 摘要
Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind (by Suzanne Fisher Staples)
Shabanu lives with her family in Pakistan's Cholistan Desert, in a society that denies women any form of independence. At twelve years old, Shabanu is already betrothed, while her sister Phelan, a year older, is about to be married.
Then tragedy strikes and Shabanu is faced with a decision that will change her life for ever --- she must choose between the strength of her own dreams of freedom and her obligation to her family and culture...
1. How does Shabanu or her family use water
2. Do you use water in the same way as Shabanu
Personal touch
Of course not. We can use much more water for washing, bathing and drinking every day from taps very conveniently.
She gets water from a muddy water hole. Then she carefully rub the soap into her hair and skin until every drop of water is fully used. Water is precious, so she won't waste any.
Her mum used to bathe her sister and her with just one cup of water when they were small.
□ She is tired of collecting water from the water hole.
□ She worries about their water.
□ She misses the time when Mum bathed her and her sister.
