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.
