A: I saw a documentary on TV last night, and it really opened my eyes about poverty in the developing world.

B: Really? I didn’t know that.
A: It’s true and what’s more, 30,000 children die every day around the world because of lack of food and medicine and a permanent home.
B: Goodness me! That’s terrible!
A: It is, isn’t it?
B: So what can we do to help?
A: Well, I think the problem happens because people don’t get a good education.
B: Yes, I think you’re probably right.
A: And if people don’t get a good education then they can’t find jobs.
B: True. And if they aren’t able to find jobs, then they can’t earn any money.
A: Exactly. I think the government should set up better schools.
B: I agree. They could also have a system which trains people for jobs.
A: Yes, both solutions would certainly help the situation.
