Ex.8 p.71
Ben: I've been thinking of starting a focus group on climate change. Would you
like to come along, Jason?
Jason: I don't know. What can we do about the world's problems? I mean we're
talking about things like global warming. I can't do anything about it.
Ben: Yes, you can! You can start by saving energy for example. A few simple
tricks and you can make a difference.
Jason: Like what? Like not using plastic bags? Is that going to save the world?
Ben: No, but at least you won't help destroy it. Use recycled paper and you can
save lots of trees, by yourself.
Jason: I suppose so, but I can't protect whole forests by myself!
Ben: If everyone thought that way we'd have no ozone layer left. We have to start
somewhere, don't we?
Jason: OK, I'll come along. What time is it?
