[speaker001:] Is the environment a big issues in your country? It is in mine.
[speaker002:] It is in mine too. The biggest issue is water. The climate is dry and so water conservation is very important.
[speaker001:] What methods do you use to conserve water?
[speaker002:] Water is rationed. We can only use a certain amount each month. It means that we cannot use some modern household items, like washing machines. They use too much water.
[speaker001:] I see. I think the biggest environment problem in my country is air pollution.
[speaker002:] Yes, I agree. The air here is much more polluted than in my country. Of course, my country is more agricultural and has much less industry.
[speaker001:] We have reduced emission of air pollutants in recent years, but cars are still a major source of them. Factories have become cleaner as stricter environment pollution law have been introduced.
[speaker002:] The problem is now on a truly global scale. I don 't believe that any single country can do anything about it.
[speaker001:] I think you 're right. There needs to be an international response to this problem.
