B: both countries are very poor. Soon they will run out of money to finance the war. Then, perhaps, they will negotiate. The thing is to find the real problem for the war and solve that. A; it would be much simpler and cheaper if they negotiated first.

religion

A: do you believe in god?

B: not at all. I’m an agnostic. Go you?

A; I’m not sure. Why don’t you believe there is a god?

B; I think everything has a scientific explanation rather than a theological one.

A: I basically believe in science over theology. I mean, I believe in evolution for example. However, there are many things that science hasn’t explained yet.

B; I’m sure that science will explain everything eventually. I think that the strangest thing about religion is that so many religions people act in ways that their religion claims are wrong. A: for example?

B: yes. I was. But I didn’t have enough time to devote to it.

A: the green party have no chance of winning an election. The other parties are too big and popular.

B; you’re right. But smaller political and pressure groups can often influence large political parties. Any member of parliament can propose legislation and parties and pressure groups can raise awareness of issues.

B: that’s true. But it’s a little strange because the media often reports on political events. You can read about them in newspaper or hear them on tv.

social problems

A: is there a lot of crime in your city?

B: there’s some, but I don’t think it’s a big problem. A lot of it is petty crime, burglary and car theft. There’s very little major crime.

A: it’s the same in my city. We also have a lot of drug addicts. A lot of the crime is committed by

drug addicts who need money for drugs.

B; that happens in many places. In my city, there is a very good drug rehabilitation programme. The police and courts are also tough on people who commit crimes, but I don’t know if that’s the reason for our relatively low crime rate.

A; some people believe that a tough approach is better. Other prefer a more lenient approach. B; I think that the best way to reduce crime is to spread wealth more evenly. If most people have similar amounts of money, they will not think of stealing from others. A; that’s possible, but I’m not sure it would really happen like that .

A; rivers have created deep valleys and canyons like the grand canyou. B: the oceans and landscapes all influence our climate.

A; it’s all so interesting. I’ll have to find more information about it on the internet. Or perhaps I should try and attend your geography class.

B; yes, they are. This afternoon, I’m going to prune the hedge.

A:; the lower branches on that tree are hanging very low. Would you like me to cut them off for you?

B: thank you! That would be very kind of you. I have a saw in the garden shed. A: when the lower branches are removed, you’ll be able to sit under the tree. B; tomorrow, I’ll cut the grass. Then the garden will lock perfect.

A; just make sure children don’t play in the flower beds and destroy the flowers. natural disasters

B: it could be. There are floods in this country almost every year, but in recent years they have been more widespread and more frequent.

A: it seems that the climate in this country is changing.

B; the summers are hotter. The last three summers have been the hottest for the past 200 years. There have also been stronger winds.

A: I think that the changing climate is a sign that we are causing too much damage to the environment.

B; I think you’re right. Climate change naturally over time, but I think that human activities are speeding up the change. I wish that government would join together and try to resolve the problem.

B: yes. We need to put the money into long-term projects rather than wasting it on short-term ones.

distance and speed

A: how long will it take us to drive to London?

B; I think it’s a distance of 180 kilometers from here to London, so it should be a two-hour drive on the motorway.

A; that’s unless there is a traffic jam. It could take three hours.

B; you’re right. We will be able to travel at high speeds at the beginning and end of the journey, because we will be in built-up area.

A: so, shall we allow three hours to cover the distance? B; ok. You haven’t seen my company car, have you? A; no. let me take a look.it’s longer than my car.

B: I think it’s over five meters long. I can’t remember exactly. It has a maximum speed of over 200 kilometers an hour.
