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 ideal for bush fires and once they get started they spread quickly. Yesterday the temperatures hit 44°C and 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 listen to the radio to keep up to date 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 normal in Australia. They are a fact of life here. It's a bit scary, but I am sure I'll be fine.
Mark: Well, look after yourself! We don't want you to be the first human victim of the year!

吉姆正在澳大利亚度假。他所在的地区发生了丛林火灾。他正在给他的朋友马克讲关于火灾的事情。
马克：我们看到了关于丛林火灾的新闻。火灾离你近吗？
吉姆：是的。它们非常近。天气炎热且多风。这种天气状况非常适合丛林火灾发生，而且一旦火灾发生，就会迅速蔓延。昨天的气温达到了44摄氏度，并且有报道称该地区发生了50多起火灾。要扑灭这些火灾需要好几天的时间。
马克：你看到过火灾吗？
吉姆：是的，我看到过。我和我的叔叔泰德住在一起。他是一名志愿消防员。他说火灾已经导致很多动物死亡，但没有人员伤亡。他说，除非你的房子着火了，否则最安全的做法就是待在室内！
马克：你所在的地方安全吗？
吉姆：我们没事。我们听收音机来了解最新的消息。这样我们就能知道是否有火灾向我们这边蔓延。昨天有一场火灾离我们非常近。附近的三所房子着火了。幸运的是，这些家庭在火灾造成太大破坏之前就把火扑灭了。
马克：你担心吗？你认为你需要搬到一个更安全的地方吗？
吉姆：丛林火灾在澳大利亚很常见。这是这里生活中无法避免的事情。这有点可怕，但我相信我会没事的。
马克：好吧，照顾好你自己！我们可不想你成为今年第一个遇难的人！
