(Jim is on holiday in Australia. There are bush fires in the area where he is staying. He is telling his friend Mark about the fires.)
Mark: We saw the news about the bush fires. Are they close to you?
Jim: Yes. They are very close. The weather is hot and windy. The conditions are perfect for bush fires and once they start, they spread quickly. Yesterday there were reports of over 50 fires in the area. It will take days to put them out.
Mark: Have you seen any fires?
Jim: Yes, I have. I’m staying with my uncle Ted. He’s a volunteer firefighter. He says the fires have killed a lot of animals, but no people. He says that the safest thing is to stay inside unless your house catches fire!
Mark: Is it safe where you are?
Jim: We’re fine. We get text messages on our mobile phones to keep up with the latest news, so we know if a fire is coming our way. One got very close yesterday. Three houses nearby caught fire. Luckily, the families put the fires out before they did too much damage.
Mark: Are you worried? Do you think you will need to move to a safer place?
Jim: Bush fires are common in Australia. They are a fact of life here. They’re a bit scary, but I am sure I’ll be fine.
Mark: Well, take care of yourself!
