T: Caty, do think the weather is a lot different than it was 20 years ago? C: It seems more extreme. I remember summers growing up in D.C. Temperatures rarely reached beyond 35 or 36 degrees Celsius. Now, we have 37 or 38 degree days regularly. T: Really? You know it’s hotter in Laos? Some days it’s almost 40 degree Celsius. C: Woah! That is brutal. T: Yeah, you start to sweat as soon as you get out of the shower. C: That’s crazy. I bet world leaders meeting at COP27 in Egypt talked a lot about rising temperatures. T: Oh yeah, I saw the news. Shall we watch it together? C: Yeah, let’s roll it. (Play Video) “The Nile Delta is Egypt’s most important farming area. It is already suffering from rising seawater— robbing locals of valuable land. The U.N. says now, more than ever, the consequences of inaction could be devastating, with deadly heatwaves, rapidly rising seas and melting glaciers threatening “lives and livelihoods on every continent.” C: Which words do you think are important in this story? T: I think suffering, devastating and heatwaves. C: That’s good. Do you know what they mean? T: I’m not sure. Can you tell me, please? C: Sure! Suffer means to experience something very unpleasant and painful. Devastate means to seriously damage or completely destroy something. Heatwave is a period of unusually hot weather. T: I think pronunciation of these words are not perfect. Shall we ask people to teach us? C: That’s a good idea. ຫວັງວ່າທ່ານຄົງຈະເຂົ້າໃຈສາມຄຳສັບທີ່ເຮົາສອນໄປນັ້ນເປັນຢ່າງດີເນາະ. ກະລຸນາຕິດຕາມຄຳສັບໃໝ່ຂອງພວກອີກໃນຄັ້ງຕໍ່ໄປ. ສຳລັບມື້ນີ້ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າແລະເຄທີຂໍລາໄປກ່ອນ. ສະບາຍດີ.
