a. Sam: We all need to drink lots of water when it gets this hot.

b. Sam: My grandmother went to the doctor because of the high heat.

c. Nina: The warm weather makes heat illnesses happen much more often.

a. Mark: We should really try to recycle all of our glass and plastic bottles, I think.

b. Kate: Yes, recycling helps the planet and reduces factory pollution a lot.

c. Mark: Doing these small things helps us fight global warming together.

a. Maria: That's smart! Reusing things is really important for a clean planet now.

b. Ben: We must try to reuse everything to reduce our waste for the earth.

c. Ben: I found an empty box; maybe we can use it for something else today.

a. David: My teacher talked about climate change causing more serious fires.

b. David: We must stop putting carbon dioxide into the air to help fix this.

c. Chloe: When it is hot for many weeks, the trees and plants dry out fast.

a. Lisa: Well, always remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room quickly.

b. Tom: Saving energy this way will help to lower our overall carbon footprint.

c. Tom: I want to do something small each day to stop global warming now.

a. Tom: Did you know that imported goods increase global warming greatly?

b. Tom: So, buying things made nearby is better for the whole environment.

c. Lisa: Yes, big ships and planes use lots of fuel to bring things far away.

a. Emily: Yes, when the sea is too warm, many beautiful fish and reefs die quickly.

b. Ryan: Did you see the report about the coral reefs being completely damaged?

c. Ryan: That means fewer tourists will go to those places for diving and seeing things.

a. Kate: That is because global warming is causing much less snow to fall on the slopes.

b. Mark: Climate change is changing what holidays people choose to take in winter.

c. Mark: If there is no snow, then the local hotels and shops will surely lose money.

d. Mark: I saw a report saying fewer people are visiting the ski areas this year.

e. Kate: Yes, the lack of white snow is really bad for all the winter tourism business now.

a. Emily: The city really needs to tell everyone about these new possible health issues quickly.

b. Ryan: I saw a program about sicknesses moving when the global climate gets hotter and hotter.

e. Ryan: It's important to understand that climate change truly affects our personal health directly.

a. Ryan: It's sad to see so many homes and buildings damaged by the big wind.

b. Ryan: Global warming is truly changing how strong these storms can become now.

c. Ryan: That last typhoon seemed stronger than the ones from a few years ago.

d. Emily: Yes, the high ocean temperature means they are getting much more powerful.

e. Emily: We must find better ways to build houses to protect people from these storms.

a. David: This heavy rain started so suddenly this afternoon, without warning.

b. David: Everything feels much less stable because the Earth is getting warmer now.

c. David: I hope the climate can become more predictable again very soon, though.

d. Chloe: Yeah, the weather forecasts just can't predict the sudden changes lately.

e. Chloe: I think we have to accept that these sudden changes are the new normal.

a. Leo: This long, dry heat makes it much easier for fires to begin, right?

b. Maya: I know! The forests are so dry because of the hot weather lately.

d. Leo: We need rain soon to stop these bad, big wildfires from spreading more.

e. Leo: Look at the news; there's another big forest fire starting now.

a. Emily: This animal movement shows how serious global warming really is for nature.

b. Ryan: We need to keep the world cool so their natural habitats stay safe for them.

c. Ryan: So, they have to leave their home to find food and a place to survive.

d. Ryan: I read that the animals are moving because their food is disappearing now.

e. Emily: Yes, the plants and insects they eat can't grow when the climate is too hot.

a. Ben: We have to recycle and reuse to help keep their habitat safe and cold.

b. Ben: It's terrible that climate change is threatening their very existence now.

c. Ben: I wonder what would happen if all the polar bears died out soon.

d. Maria: They are such important animals in their cold environment, you know.

b. Sam: We would need to quickly move to the highest part of our building immediately.

c. Sam: We must talk about ways to protect our neighborhood from too much water.

d. Nina: This kind of extreme rain is caused by the planet getting much hotter.

e. Nina: That would be really scary! Where would we go to stay safe from the water?

a. Maya: I guess I could try taking the local bus to work on some days instead.

b. Leo: Hey, could you actually survive for a week without using your motorbike?

c. Leo: Even a few days of less driving really helps the environment a little.

d. Maya: Wow, a whole week would be really difficult for me to manage now.

e. Leo: It's important to cut back on driving to help with global warming, though.
