When we turn on the tap and hot water comes out, do you know the development of the invention? The earliest baths appeared around 4,000 years ago and showers were in use about 300 years ago. Today, others say a bath at night makes them feel relaxed and have a good sleep.
Are baths better than showers? Having a bath is relaxing while showers are quick. Which should we choose? People have discussed this. Let’s have a closer look.
Yes—a bath washes the mind and body
Baths are about much more than cleanliness. They are places to relax and you can think about the coming day so that you can plan tomorrow well there. You will have to do nothing in a bath but read or eat if you want. Most people have been used to bathing since they were born. For the first few years of a person’s life, they are bathed before bed, not showered.
No—showers are quick and cheap
The cost of baths is more than that of showers. Experts recently worked out that a year of two baths a day costs £438 but a year of two showers a day costs just £161. Baths are more expensive. Showers are better for the environment because they use less water and energy. What’s more, showers are efficient (有效率的) when you don’t have much time in the morning. You just need 3 minutes to finish it and it means you can stay in bed for extra time.
