Solution

Bird: Hello! I’ve been flying for quite some time and was looking for a tree to rest. But this is the first forest I’ve seen in a while.
Tree: Well, I believe you. But I can’t say I’m surprised. Given the kinds of changes the environment is undergoing, it’s no wonder there aren’t many forests in this region. Humans have chopped down most of the trees for wood and other resources.
Fruit: I, too, have been suffering because of these environmental changes. In the past, I had a lot of brothers and sisters. But now, there are only a handful of us.
Bird: Oh, yes! And as the weather is getting hotter by the day, flying has become extremely difficult for us.
Tree: I can understand. I, too, have been facing difficulty due to the rising heat. My leaves are losing their natural colour due to the excessive heat.
Fruit: My siblings and I used to be bright and lustrous, but now we’ve grown smaller and aren’t as shiny as before.
Bird: Yes, that’s due to the water shortage. I, too, have been struggling to find drinking water around. The other day, I was about to faint due to being thirsty for a long time.
Tree: Yes, the water shortage is certainly a grave problem for all of us. It has led to soil degradation, and my roots are affected as a result. I hope humans understand the damage they are causing to the environment.
Fruit: I agree. If they don’t change their ways now, it may be too late to save any of us.
Bird: The bird population is also declining. Species have gone extinct because they could not cope with the climatic changes. It’s true that if humans. Don’t make an effort to conserve nature; they, too, will suffer the consequences, just like us.

Read the following extract and convert it into a dialogue between Roma and Herman, the narrator in about 8 to 10 sentences:
[You may begin with: (After dinner by the shore at Coney Island Roma and Herman started back by Sid's car.)
Roma: Where were you during the war, Herman?]

      The four of us drove out to Coney Island. Roma was easy to talk to, easy to be with. Turned out she was wary of blind dates too! We were both just doing our friends a favor. We took a stroll on the boardwalk, enjoying the salty Atlantic breeze, and then had dinner by the shore. I couldn't remember having a better time.

          We piled back into Sid's car, Roma and I sharing the backseat. As European Jews who had survived the war, we were aware that much had been left unsaid between us. She broached the subject. "Where were you during the war?'' she asked softly.
    'The camps,' I said, the terrible memories still vivid, the irreparable loss. I had tried to forget. But you can never forget.
   She nodded. "My family was hiding on a farm in Germany,
not far from Berlin," she told me. "My father knew a priest, and
he got us Aryan papers."
   I imagined how she must have suffered too, tear, a constant
companion. And yet here we were both survivors, in a new world.
  "There was a camp next' to the farm." Roma continued, "I
saw a boy there and I would throw him apples every day".
