A: Did you read this article about bees?
B: No.
A: They’re all dying, for some unknown reason.
B: Really? That’s terrible!
A: I know. It’s really bad news because we really depend on bees. If bees become extinct, we
won’t have any fruit or vegetables.
B: I hadn’t thought about that. They should do something – fund research or something.
A: Absolutely.

F: Really? That’s great.
E: I know. It’s good news.
F: They should do more to protect the countryside here, too.
