Kevin: Mai, what do you think are green activities at home?
Mai: I`m no expert, but I think that we should take short showers instead of long baths.
Kevin: Can you tell me more about it?
Mai: Well, the main reason for this is to save electricity water and other non-renewable energy resources.
Kevin: I totally agree with you and I think we shouldn`t ask our parents to buy us motorcycles for convenient travelling since it is environmentally unfriendly. Just let me explain. Avoiding using these vehicles will help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, which causes global warming and health problems.
Mai: Yes, I totally agree with you. I think everybody should be better aware of green lifestyles that help protect the environment.
