Kathy: Now it’s time for today’s interview.
Our guest today is Ellen Williams.
She’s going to talk to us about the problem of pollution.
Kathy: Ellen, why is pollution a problem?
Ellen: Well, for one thing, pollution makes us sick.
Kathy: You mean, it’s bad for our health?
Ellen: That’s right. Pollution causes health problems.
For example, if we breathe polluted air, we get sick.
Kathy: I see. And we also get sick if we drink polluted water.
Ellen: Yes.
Kathy: What else?
Ellen: Polluted water kills animals and fish.
Kathy: That’s terrible!
Ellen: Pollution also kills plants, and plants give us clean air.
Kathy: Plants give us clean air?
Ellen: Yes. Plants and trees produce the air that we breathe.
Pollution kills the plants which give us clean air.
Kathy: Right. I remember that from school.
Our guest is Ellen Williams. We’ll talk more after our break.
