Imagine that you are a journalist writing an article about the impact of climate change on a small island community. In your article, you want to include direct quotes from the locals. Use the present simple tense to write a paragraph of dialogue between two islanders discussing the changes they observe in the weather patterns. Your dialogue should include at least five different present simple tense verbs, both regular and irregular, to accurately represent the ongoing nature of these changes. Additionally, use the third person singular form of the present simple for one of the verbs to reflect a general fact about the weather. For example, 'It never rains like it used to,' said Maria, a lifelong resident of the island. 'The winds always come from the south these days,' replied Pedro, a local fisherman. Write your dialogue in a way that demonstrates your understanding of the present simple tense and its use in expressing general truths, habitual actions, and permanent situations.
