Ms Hoa: Now, Group 2, how are your preparations
going? Is your topic global warming?
Lan: Yes, itis. We've already decided on the main
points to talk about and agreed on the presentation
outline. Having planned the content, we're now
looking for supporting information.
Ms Hoa: Sounds good.
Minh: First, we'll talk about causes such as
greenhouse gas emissions from factories and
vehicles.
Mai: There are also other causes, like the use of
chemical fertilisers and deforestation. Global
warming is man-made!
Minh: Man-made?
Ms Hoa: That's right. in the past, a lot of industries
denied having contributed to global warming, but
nowadays most people admit we are all responsible.
Minh: I see. Then we'll focus on the effects of global
warming on people's health and life on Earth in
general.
Mai: Yes. Having treated the environment
irresponsibly, humans now have to suffer the effects
of global warming. Do you agree, Lan?
Lan: Yes. Global warming leads to climate change,
allowing for some infectious diseases to spread more
easily. We should also make it clear how global
warming contributes to heat-related illnesses and
death.
Mai: It also has severe impact on water supplies,
threatens food production and upsets ecological
balance.

Ms Hoa: These are all excellent points. Have you
come up with any solutions?
Lan: Yes. Ms Hoa. We'll point out how people can
change their daily habits to reduce their carbon
footprint.
Ms Hoa: That's great. Now, go through all your
points again and decide who in your group will
present each part.
Lan, Minh, and Mai: Thanks for your help, Ms
Hoa.
