You （5）maymaythink dial Australia is particularly vulnerable to forest fires，but that would be a mistake.Many other countries share the same conditions that have set Australia burning，physically and politically，including similar terrain and a leadership that has yet to wake up fully to the new reality （6）thatthatclimate change is creating.Worldwide，fire seasons （7）are gettingare getting（get） longer and more damaging.The areas al risk include America's west coast，the Mediterranean，southern Africa and swathes of Central Asia.If that sounds frightening，remember that in 2018 California had the deadliest forest fires in its history， （8）killingkilling（kill） over 80 people and causing parts of Los Angeles to be evacuated，while over 100 people died in wildfires in Greece.
As a result，the lessons from Australia's tragedy are important. （9）OneOneis that climate change is making infernos （無法控制的大火）more likely.It is true that forest fires are a long-standing part of some territories' ecology，but（10）asas the world gets holler and drier，their incidence and severity are risjye.aig.In 2019 Australia's mean temperature was the highest since records began in 1910，1.5 C above the long-run average.The amount of rainfall，meanwhile，was 40% below the long-term average and at the lowest level since 1900.

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
