Jimmy: -Are rain forests useful or just beautiful?

Dr. Jenkins: -Very useful! They provide wood, rubber and herbs to make medicines and food for people. That's why they're in great danger.

Carol: - Why?

Dr. Jenkins: - Because people cut down too many trees.

Carol: - Does it hurt the rain forest when they cut them down?

Dr. Jenkins: - Yes, it does and we also have to take care of them because they provide us with oxygen. To cut trees down affect the ecological equilibrium.

Jimmy: -Thank you, Dr. Jenkins. That was very interesting. Goodbye!

Dr. Jenkins: - Goodbye, Carol! Goodbye, Jimmy!
