A dialogue between two friends (Hasan and Tabiha) on Climate Change
Hasan: Hey, Tabiha! Did you notice how hot this summer has been? I feel like it’s getting worse
every year.
Tabiha: Yeah, totally! My mom said it’s because of climate change. But I’m not really sure what
that means.
Hasan: Climate change is when the Earth’s weather patterns get messed up over time. It’s making
the planet hotter, right?
Tabiha: Oh, right! But why is that happening?
Hasan: People say it’s because of things like cars, factories, and cutting down too many trees.
They release gases that trap heat around the Earth, like a blanket.
Tabiha: Oh, like when we burn coal or oil? My teacher called those "fossil fuels."
Hasan: Exactly! Those gases, called carbon dioxide, build up in the air. That’s why ice in places
like Antarctica is melting and sea levels are rising.
Tabiha: Wait, so if the ice melts, will oceans flood cities?
Hasan: Maybe someday. My dad showed me a video of islands where beaches are disappearing.
It’s scary!
Tabiha: What else does climate change do?
Hasan: It causes weird weather—like stronger storms, droughts, or even super cold winters.
Remember that big snowstorm last year? Scientists say climate change can make weather
extremes worse.
Tabiha: Oh no! But can we fix it?
Hasan: Yeah! Using solar or wind energy instead of coal helps. Planting trees is good too. They
absorb those bad gases. Even small things, like recycling or using less plastic, make a difference.
Tabiha: But what if governments don’t do anything?
Hasan: We can still act! My family bikes to the market now. Maybe our school can start a garden
or clean-up project?
Tabiha: That’s a cool idea! Let’s talk to our teacher about it. If everyone helps, maybe we’ll slow
climate change down.
Hasan: For sure! Even little steps matter. Plus, if we protect the Earth now, future generations
won’t suffer.
Tabiha: Agreed. Let’s start today!
A dialogue between two friends (Riya and Jay) on Tree Plantation
Riya: Hey, Jay! Our teacher said the school is organizing a tree-planting event next week. Are
you joining?
Jay: Maybe. But why do we need to plant more trees? There are already so many in the park!
Riya: Trees are super important! They give us clean air to breathe by absorbing bad gases like
carbon dioxide.
Jay: Oh, right! But how does planting help more?
Riya: Many forests are being cut down for buildings or roads. Planting trees replaces the ones we
lose. Plus, they give shade and keep the weather cooler.
Jay: Cooler? Like, they stop summers from being too hot.
Riya: Exactly! Trees also prevent soil from washing away during rains. Their roots hold the
ground together.
Jay: Hmm, but what if we don’t plant enough trees?
Riya: Then pollution gets worse, animals lose their homes, and floods might happen more often.
My uncle says his village had bad floods last year because nearby forests were gone.
Jay: Oh no! So, can planting trees protect us too?
Riya: Yes! Trees even give us fruits, flowers, and wood. Birds and squirrels live in them. Without
trees, our world would be empty and unhealthy.
Jay: Wow, I didn’t know they do so much! But can one tree really make a difference?
Riya: Of course! If every student plants one tree, our school could have 500 new trees! Imagine
how clean the air would be.
Jay: That’s true! Maybe we can ask our neighbors to plant trees in their gardens too.
Riya: Great idea! Communities that plant trees together make their towns greener and nicer.
Even taking care of a small plant at home helps.
Jay: Let’s start a gardening club! We can teach others how to grow trees.
Riya: Yes! Trees take time to grow, but they’ll help future generations. My grandma says, “A tree
is a gift you give to the Earth.”
Jay: I love that! Let’s join the event and plant as many as we can.
Riya: Deal! And remind everyone: “Don’t just plant a tree—save the planet!”
