[speaker001:] Is there a lot of oil and coal in your country?
[speaker002:] There is some, but my country is not amongst the leading producers. The oil and coal deposits are in the north of my country. Your country is a big oil producer, isn 't it?
[speaker001:] Yes, it is. My country is famous for having that natural resources. We also have a lot of natural gas.
[speaker002:] We have some too. Do you have a lot of coal?
[speaker001:] No coal has been discovered in my country, but there may be undiscovered deposits. We don 't have many metal deposits.
[speaker002:] There are a few in my country. We have deposit of gold, but they are very small.
[speaker001:] When I traveled around your country, I bought some jewellery made from gold from your country. The jewellery told me that there are few gold mines in your country. The gold was found in mountain steams.
[speaker002:] That 's right. A few people go panning for gold in rivers.
[speaker001:] You have many trees in your country. That 's another natural resources.
[speaker002:] It 's a natural resources that we hardly use. Government policy is to conserve those forests.
[speaker001:] I see. That 's probably a good idea. Too many forest are being destroyed.
[speaker002:] Is your country 's environment being damaged by the oil industry?
[speaker001:] We have some inspections, but it is very hard to avoid pollution when extracting oil. There has been some damage, but it is under control.
