(At the beach)

Ben: Hi, Judy!  I can’t believe you came to join us!

Judy: Hello, Ben.  I came because I like your idea: when you give, you’re rich.  I’m         happy that I can do something for the Earth.

Ben: Right.  That’s why we had this plan to get our clean beach back.  Do you know if Paul’s coming?  I remember he had the same idea and said he would try his best to come over.

Judy: But he just called and said he wouldn’t come today because it’s too hot.

Ben: I can’t believe it!  He always says, “We can do this and that….”

Judy: Don’t you know him?  He only pays lip service to what should be done but seldom does anything.

Ben: I see.  Let’s forget about him.  We’ll have Tony and Sophie to help us soon.

Judy: That’s great.  So where should we start now?  Should we pick up those bottles first?

Ben: Sure, let’s go.
