Itis clear that there are several steps in this process, from the initial impurewater to the final drinkable water.
Atfirst, impure water will be pulled into an iron bucket with a wooden top. Thereare three filter layers in this device, namely: sand, charcoal and gravel respectively. Among the three layers, charcoal is in the middle layer, between sandand the gravel. Also, there is an iron curvilinear pipe at the bottom of thedevice, which links to another closed metal barrel with a tap.

Since the first mobile phone wasinvented, this technology has alreadychanged our lives.However，while it gains its popularity, a lot ofcriticism also follow. Personally, I believe that it should not be banned.
We cannot avoid the fact that the mobilephone brings muchconvenience to our lives. In the old times, if we want to contract with afriend in a distant place, we may write aletter, which will take more half amonth before he gets the letter. But with the help of the mobile phone, we can getthe connection with our friends in less than 10 seconds. In addition, themobile phone is able to achieve manyfeatures, such as shopping online, GPS,buying tickets and so on, which not only saves our time and spending, but alsobrings much entertainment.
At the sametime, mobile phone industry creates great quantity of business opportunities. Inpast one decade, mobile phones are sold by hundreds, by thousand, by millionand providesunaccountable jobs in the modern world as well. For example,according to a survey, Samsung has made great contributions to Korean’s GDP.
However, themobile phone also has an effect on our physical and mental health. As we allknown, if we insist to play digital games on our phones, we may suffer some eyediseases unless we realise its harmfulness. To make things worse, nowadays manypeople would prefer to spend their time with some virtual friends rather thankeep their families accompanied in reality.
In conclusion, Iconsider it has more benefits than drawbacks. If the mobile phone is used at aright place and right time, it still can be put into excellent usefulness.
