Read the dialogue of two friends. Answer 5 questions

Michael: Maya, how about going to McDonald’s after school?

Maya: Sorry, maybe next time. I’m trying to save some money.

Michael: What for?

Maya: I want to adopt an animal.

Michael: So why do you need money for that? There are so many stray dogs and cats.

Maya: Yeah, but I want to adopt a snow leopard.

Michael: What?! I don’t understand you.

Maya: Ha-ha, don’t be afraid. It will live in its usual environment. I guess you have heard of such an organization as “ The World Wide Fund for Nature”.

Michael: No, I haven’t. What do they do?

Maya: This organization has a lot of programmes which work all over the world and improve our ecology. For example, there are some animals that are in danger and may disappear, so you can choose any animal which you like and give some money for it. The organization will use your money to protect the animal.

Michael: I believe they do a great job! Can you show me the website?

Maya: I totally agree with you. Look.

Michael: Oh, the list of endangered species is so big. I also want to adopt an animal.

Maya: Great!

Which animal will you choose?

Michael: I like the orangutan. Why do they disappear? Maya: As far as I know, they live in rainforests which people destroy.

Michael:

That’s so sad, I want to save all of them! Look at this beautiful turtle. Why is it in danger?

Maya: There are a lot of reasons. One of them is climate change. In my view, if people want to stop it, we should stop polluting our air and oceans.

Michael: I’m so glad that you showed me this website and now I can do something for our Earth. I think, I will adopt both of them.

Maya: Well done! There are many other ways to protect our planet that we can do every day. If you want, I will tell you.

Michael: Why don’t we speak about it during the next break?

Maya: Sure! See you.
