I think that… can result in… / One of them is… / Another is…
… happen because of… / They can occur due to… / It’s important to note that…
I agree/disagree with this statement because… / The most common cause is…

I think that heatwaves can result in many different extreme weather events. One of them is droughts and another is wildfires.
Mudslides happen because of two possible reasons. They can occur because of torrential rain or because of melting ice caps. It’s important to remember though that they only happen in mountainous regions.
I disagree with this statement because extreme weather can have natural causes as well. The most common ones are changes in the atmospheric pressure and movement of air.

Hi, everyone! Today, I’m going to talk about climate change and extreme weather.

As you may know, the climate is often affected by natural causes but human activity has as much influence, if not more. Unfortunately, we pollute the environment which leads to a spike in global temperatures and, as a consequence, climate change.

In turn, climate affects extreme weather. Extreme weather events happen more frequently and are more destructive. One of the most affected aspects is heat which can lead to a true ecological catastrophe.

In fact, climate scientists argue we’re going to see more negative changes. Dry areas will get drier while wet areas get wetter. We will experience severe hurricanes, floods, wildfires and even blizzards.

To halt climate change and stop those events from happening, we should do our best to live more eco‑friendly lifestyles. We should also limit fossil fuel use and invest in clean energy.
