Question 14:

a. Ella: The old trees near the gate gave us shade, but two were removed after last summer’s heat and storms damaged them badly.

b. Ryan: I wondered why the playground feels hotter now, especially in the afternoon.

c. Ryan: That explains it. Could the school plant smaller native trees that can survive longer dry periods?

d. Ella: The eco-club suggested that, and the principal said the new garden plan will include them next term.

e. Ryan: Good. It would help with heat and also show how climate change is affecting places we use every day.
