Nam’s father: What are you doing, Nam? Nam: I’m preparing a presentation for my geography class. Nam’s father: What’s the topic? Nam: It’s environmental protection. My teacher asked me to do some research, but I don’t know where to start. Nam’s father: I think you should identify some environmental problems first. What have you found so far? Nam: I’ve come up with a range of environmental issues such as global warming, deforestation, endangered animals and pollution, but I don’t know how to organise them. Nam’s father: You should focus on each problem, explain the main causes of it, and the suggest the solutions. Nam: Thanks, Dad. But presenting all the solutions will be hard. Nam’s father: Have you asked your teacher for advice? Nam: Yes, I have. She advised that I should start with small, practical actions to protect the environment before coming up with big ideas that need a lot of effort or money to succeed. Nam’s father: Sounds good. You’d better follow her advice. When did she ask you to present it? Nam: She said I should present it the following week. Nam’s father: You still have a lot of time. Good luck! Nam: Thanks, Dad.
