M: Oh, gosh! Nobody can stand this kind of scorching heat.
W: Tell me about it! You can’t even stay in the sun for five minutes.
M: You’ll be scorched like a shriveled plant.
W: I like your humor, Marc. Anyway, I guess this afternoon there’s nothing we can do but stay at home.
M: I guess so. I don’t want to be taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion or sunstroke or something.
W: You want my advice?(8)Drink a lot of liquids and spare yourself the worst of the heat!
M: Yeah, you’re right. Got to drink a lot of fluids. Do we have any beer? I’d like some Budweiser or Carlsberg.
W: If the heat goes on, a drought will probably set in. It hasn’t rained a drop for months.
M: I think so, too. But didn’t it rain last month?
W: It did rain last month, but the rainfall was only half the monthly average.
M: Oh. That bad?!
W: That’s right. It’s really bad.(10)I’m really concerned though not panicked yet.
M: I don’t blame you. The pastures have browned out even before the summer has arrived.
W: Yeah, (9)and the soil has been baked so hard that the plow can’t even break the soil.
M: Looks like it’s going to be an ongoing thing that would get worse each day.
