GLOBAL WARMING

1. MS HOA, AN ENGLISH TEACHER, IS HELPING A GROUP OF STUDENT IN
HER CLASS TO PREPARE FOR THEIR PRESENTATION. LISTEN AND READ!
Ms Hoa: Now, Group 2, how are your preparations going? Is your topic global warming?
Lan: Yes, it is. 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.
