 Club leader: Hello. Welcome back. Today we’re discussing environmental problems and environmental 
 protection. What are our serious environmental problems now?
 Nam: Pollution and habitat loss, I think.
 Ann: I agree. The air and water quality are getting worse and worse.
 Club leader: Any others?
 Ann: Yes, I can think of some like global warming, endangered species loss, 
 Nam: So what should we do to help protect our environment?
 Club leader: We can reduce our carbon footprint even in our homes.
 Ann: What do you mean by ‘carbon footprint’?
 Club leader: It’s the amount of carbon dioxide we release into the environment.
 Ann: I see. So we can do things like turning off devices when we’re not using them.
 Club leader: Right  And there is much more we can do, like practising the 3Rs.
 Nam: We can plant more trees in our neighbourhood too.
 Ann: And try to avoid using single-use products, like plastic bags, and stop littering.
 Club leader: Yeah. And we can volunteer at some local environment programmes to save endangered 
 species. 2. Read the conversation again and match the two
