Qingqing: Are you free this weekend? Do you want to go to a beach cleanup together?
Huahua: A beach cleanup? Why do you suddenly want to do something like that?
Qingqing: Because I saw on the news that there’s more and more trash on Taiwan’s beaches, and it has a big impact on marine life.
Huahua: That sounds meaningful, but won’t it be tiring?
Qingqing: It might be a little tiring, but if everyone works together, it won’t be so hard.
Huahua: That’s true. And we’ll probably feel a great sense of accomplishment after it’s done.
Qingqing: Exactly. Not only can we get some exercise, but we can also protect the environment.
Huahua: Okay, I’ll go with you. Count me in.
