Task VIII. Think what you would say in the following dialog:
His wife has just found a picture of a forecast of floods in their area for the 21st century. It is one of many detailed maps from U.S. Climate Central, which shows accurate risk zone areas, associated with global warming sea level increase, as well as detail on the disaster zones and locations. All maps are based on an extreme 10-foot water-level rise plus a high tide flood possibility to show how dangerous this situation could become. Many of these coastal areas have some of the most expensive properties in the world, including Miami Beach, the Hamptons, and Malibu Beach, among others. More than 99 percent of today’s population in 252 coastal towns and cities would have their homes submerged. She shows the map and the forecast to the husband and expresses her fear of losing their property. She doesn't want their children to be deprived of the fortune. The husband is less anxious. He is skeptical about global warming. The wife, however, seems really concerned. She draws arguments and provides evidence of growing threat. They end up discussing where to settle, where to relocate their business and where to send their children to study.
