EXAMPLES
“During Wildfire Season in Canada, the government often recommends that people wear masks, limit their exercise, and stay indoors in order to prevent health problems.”
“Many wildfires in Canada happen due to droughts, lightning storms, and high winds. The land can be very dry, so trees are often set on fire when they are hit by lightning. Wildfires spread because of the windy weather.”
