Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Ron and you will be Emma. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.

READ

Have you seen the news about the extreme flooding in the city yesterday?
Yes, I have. According to the news, illegal dumping of trash around the city might have caused it.

That is too bad. Trash is just thrown anywhere. I sometimes pick them up and put them in the bin when I am not in a hurry.
Me too. I have tried doing volunteer work in the park before. I noticed that people leave trash everywhere.

People should really be responsible for their actions to save the environment.
You are right. After all, we all benefit from our environment so we should take good care of it.
